| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central monogram of KAROLUS arranged in a cruciform ligature within a beaded inner circle, the interlaced letters forming the characteristic Carolingian royal cipher. The field surrounding the monogram is plain. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by a cross pattee at the commencement, reading GRATIA D-I REX, invoking the divine right of Charles as king. The overall design is typical of the Edict of Pîtres reform coinage, with bold, deeply struck letterforms characteristic of Carolingian hammered silver. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II's Edict of Pîtres in 864 fundamentally restructured Carolingian coinage, reducing the number of authorized mints to a controlled royal list and standardizing the denier across the realm. Mayenne was among the mints confirmed under this reorganization. The reform was partly a response to Viking incursions disrupting trade networks — the same raids that would, within two generations, carve Normandy out of the kingdom entirely.
The Prou and Gariel references place this firmly within the post-Pîtres emission sequence.
