| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at the Rouen mint during the final two years of Charlemagne's reign, this denier belongs to the reformed coinage system he imposed across the Frankish territories beginning in the 790s — a standardization that severed the direct link to Merovingian monetary practice and anchored the pound-shilling-penny accounting system that would persist in parts of Europe for over a millennium. Rouen, as a major ecclesiastical and commercial center on the Seine, was one of the more productive regional mints under the Carolingian reorganization.
The Prou reference is unassigned, suggesting this specific die pairing or mint attribution resisted clean classification in that corpus.
