背面描述	The reverse bears a two-line inscription filling the field, reading ARGENTINACVNAS, the Latinized form of the Strasbourg mint name, divided across two horizontal lines. The lettering is executed in broad, well-spaced Carolingian capitals, with the text contained within the coin's beaded border. The flan is irregularly shaped, characteristic of hammered Carolingian deniers, and the strike is bold with good relief on the inscription. No additional decorative elements or mint marks are present.

附加信息	Louis IV — known as "the Child" — came to the Carolingian throne at age six following his father Arnulf's death in 899, and died at seventeen in 911, leaving no heir. His reign over East Francia coincided with Magyar raids that devastated the Rhine corridor repeatedly, including strikes deep into Lotharingia itself. Strasbourg, sitting directly on that fault line, continued minting under episcopal and comital authority even as central Carolingian power effectively dissolved around it. The Strasbourg issues of this reign fall within the broader collapse of unified Carolingian coinage — the last decade before regional minting authorities became fully autonomous in practice, not merely in delegation.
