Denier - Odo Toulouse mint, ODO GRATIA D- RE

Odo, Count of Paris, was elected king by the western Frankish nobility in 888 after Charles the Fat proved incapable of defending the realm — his failure to relieve the Siege of Paris in 885–886 had made his deposition inevitable. Odo's coinage from Toulouse is particularly pointed: striking in his own name from a mint deep in the south signaled effective royal authority over a city that had every reason to look toward its own counts rather than a Robertian upstart from the Île-de-France.

The reign lasted only to 898, when the Carolingian claimant Charles the Simple finally displaced him.
