| Beschrijving voorzijde | Carolingian royal monogram occupying the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram, composed of interlaced letters forming the name CARLVS, is rendered in the characteristic Carolingian style with angular strokes. A circular legend in Latin capital letters runs between the beaded inner circle and the irregular outer rim, introduced by a cross pattée. The overall design reflects the standard Carolingian denier type established under Charles the Bald. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Verdun mint sat at a geopolitical fault line throughout this period — the city changed hands repeatedly between the East and West Frankish kingdoms following the fragmentation of Charlemagne's empire, and the silver deniers struck there reflect that instability directly. Whether attributed to Charles II (the Bald) of West Francia or Charles III, the attribution hinges largely on which Carolingian power controlled the mint at the moment of striking, a question the coins themselves rarely answer cleanly.
Verdun's later fame as a silver-trading hub — the town was already a significant slave market in the ninth century — kept its mint economically relevant well beyond what its political turbulence might suggest.
