Denier anonyme saint Lull et Charlemagne

Hersfeld Abbey, founded by Lullus of Mainz in the eighth century, received minting rights under the Ottonian and Salian emperors as part of the broader policy of delegating fiscal infrastructure to ecclesiastical foundations. The pairing of Lullus — the abbey's founder and a missionary associate of Boniface — with Charlemagne on a coin struck two to three centuries after both figures died reflects a deliberate effort to anchor the house's authority in Carolingian legitimacy rather than in any contemporary political claim.

Kluge's cataloguing of this type as Kar#471 places it within a well-documented series of anonymous ecclesiastical deniers that are often misattributed to secular mints without die study.
