| Beschrijving voorzijde | A Carolingian royal monogram of Charles II occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The monogram, composed of interlaced letters in the Carolingian tradition, is boldly rendered in high relief typical of hammered coinage. A Latin legend reading GRATIA D-I REX encircles the inner beaded border, invoking Charles's sovereignty by divine grace. The outer field between the beaded circle and the coin's irregular rim is densely filled with the peripheral inscription. The overall design reflects the standardized Carolingian denier type introduced by the Edict of Pîtres (864). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Edict of Pîtres, issued by Charles II in June 864, was among the most ambitious monetary reforms of the Carolingian period — it centralized minting authority, suppressed unauthorized workshops, and formally designated which ecclesiastical and royal sites could strike coin. The monastery of Péronne, associated with the Irish peregrinus Fursey who died there around 650, was among the privileged houses that retained or received minting rights under this reorganization.
Production almost certainly ceased with Charles II's death in 877, making the emission window tight and surviving examples correspondingly scarce.
