Denier In the name of Henry I

Henry I of East Francia — "the Fowler" — never actually ruled Lotharingia directly; the duchy passed into his orbit after a prolonged struggle with the West Frankish king Charles the Simple, who had held it since 911. When Henry secured Lotharingia around 925, local minting continued under his name even as the region's political loyalty remained contested. Coins struck "in the name of" a ruler rather than by direct royal administration are precisely the administrative ambiguity this formula reflects.

The variant classification against both Hävernick and Dannenberg suggests a die combination not fully absorbed into either corpus — not uncommon for Lotharingian issues of this transitional decade.
