Denier - Pepin the Short Herstal

表面の説明	The obverse features a bold monogram composed of the interlaced letters R and P, surmounted by a horizontal bar, all rendered in hammered relief within a plain field. The monogram abbreviates 'Rex Pippinus' (King Pepin), executed in a Carolingian majuscule style characteristic of early Frankish coinage. The design is set within a beaded border encircling the entire flan. No additional legend surrounds the central device.

追加情報	Pépin III struck these deniers after deposing the last Merovingian king Childeric III in 751 — the coup legitimized by Pope Zacharias, who famously ruled that it was better to call king the man who held power than the man who merely bore the title. The Herstal mint, ancestral seat of the Carolingian family, carried obvious dynastic weight as a chosen production site. At roughly 0.85g these sit well below the later Carolingian weight standard that Charlemagne would enforce after 793. Pépin's monetary reforms were real but incomplete — the groundwork for a unified silver coinage, not yet the finished structure.
