| Beschrijving voorzijde | A plain cross with a small cross at its apex is centered within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. The surrounding legend reads CARLEMANVS RE (or variants), invoking the royal title of Carloman II, and runs between the inner beaded circle and the outer border of the coin. The overall style is characteristic of Carolingian hammered coinage, with crude but purposeful engraving typical of late ninth-century Frankish mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carloman II inherited a fractured kingdom at age thirteen following the death of Louis the Stammerer in 879, ruling jointly with his brother Louis III until the latter's death in 882 left him sole king. The Arles mint, operating under Carolingian authority in what had been contested territory between rival magnates and persistent Saracen pressure from the south, issued deniers throughout this turbulent co-regency period. Carloman himself died in a hunting accident in 884, aged around eighteen, ending the direct male Carolingian line in West Francia and triggering the succession that eventually brought Charles the Fat to power.
