Denier - Charlemagne Bingen

Aversbeschreibung	The field is divided horizontally by a plain staff or bar, with the royal name CARLVS displayed in large rustic Latin capital letters above and below the dividing line. The letters are bold and irregularly spaced in the characteristic Carolingian hammered style. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The strike is typical of early Carolingian monetary reform issues, with the legend serving as the primary design element rather than a portrait.

Reversbeschreibung	The mint name BINGIAC, identifying the mint of Bingen on the Rhine, is displayed in two horizontal lines of rustic Latin capital letters across the field. The letters are boldly rendered in the hammered Carolingian style, filling the flan. The coin is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with early Carolingian denier coinage. The two-line inscription format is characteristic of the pre-reform type struck under Charlemagne during his earliest regal years.
