| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 1,200th anniversary of Charlemagne's birth, this piece belongs to a wave of West German commemorative policy that used coinage to anchor the Federal Republic's identity in a deep, pre-national European past — a deliberate move given the political sensitivities of projecting German history in the late 1960s. The Carolingian connection was useful precisely because it predated the nation-state entirely.
The "Argenteus Aureus Magnus" designation is a modern confection, not a historical coin type.
