Obol - Carlus II

Charles II ("the Bald") secured recognition of Barcelona as a hereditary county for Guifré el Pilós — Wilfred the Hairy — in 878, a grant that effectively began the dynastic line of the House of Barcelona. Coinage struck under his authority in the county during this period reflects the fragmented monetary administration of the late Carolingian empire, with local mints operating under nominal royal oversight but considerable practical independence.

The Dy féodales reference places this firmly within the feudal French series rather than the Iberian regal issues — a classification that itself tells the political story of Barcelona's ambiguous position between Frankish sovereignty and emerging Catalan autonomy.
