Commentary

Denier de la plus grande rareté absent des ouvrages de référence et semblant unique publié dans les Cahiers Numismatiques n° 224 de juin 2020, Éric Vandenbosche “Un denier carolingien inédit de Soissons pour Carloman ou Charlemagne”. Selon cet article il s’agit d’une monnaie de Carloman Ier mais l’hypothèse d’une émission sous Charlemagne n’est pas exclue par cet auteur.
A denier of the greatest rarity, absent from reference works and seemingly unique, published in Cahiers Numismatiques n° 224 of June 2020, Éric Vandenbosche “An unpublished Carolingian denier from Soissons for Carloman or Charlemagne”. According to this article, it is a coin of Carloman I, but the hypothesis of an issue under Charlemagne is not excluded by this author.
