Comment
The obverse legend on the coin in the photos is a degenerate version of the normal legend, THEODERICVS DVX.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Theoderic I, who was the Duke of Upper Lotharingia from 984 to 1026. He was a member of the Carolingian dynasty, which was a powerful family that played a significant role in European politics and history during the Middle Ages. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the importance of trade and commerce during this time period.
