Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is an imitation of a coin minted by Louis the Pious, who was the King of the Franks from 813 to 840. The pseudo legend on the coin suggests that it was minted during his reign, but it was actually produced later, during the 830s to 900s, in the Kingdoms of British Isles and Frisia. Despite being an imitation, the coin still holds historical significance as a representation of the influence of the Frankish Empire on the currency of neighboring regions.
