Comment
Several varieties can be distinguished according to the shape of the initial cross of the legend as well as the one in the center of the field of the coin, but also according to the position (lying or standing) as well as the shape (retrograde or prograde) that the S's take in the circular legends.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Louis IV, also known as Louis the Child, who was the King of France from 1100 to 1108. Despite his short reign, Louis IV played an important role in the history of France, particularly in the development of the country's coinage. The Denier with four annulets, which features an image of Louis IV, is a rare and valuable coin that is highly sought after by collectors.
