Commentary
Cette obole diffère sensiblement de celle du Cabinet des médailles en raison de la déformation prononcée du monogramme. Il faut probablement y voir un type qui a été frappé au-delà du règne de Charles le Chauve.
This coin differs significantly from that in the Cabinet of Medals due to the pronounced distortion of the monogram. It is probably a type that was struck after the reign of Charles the Bald.

Historical background
CHARLES II LE CHAUVE / THE BALD
(20/06/840-6/10/877)
Charles the Bald became king on the death of his father, Louis the Pious, on June 20, 840. At the Treaty of Verdun in 843, the Carolingian empire was shared between Louis' three sons. Lothair receives Lotharingia, Louis the German, Francia Orientalis and Charles Francia Occidentalis. The type with the Christian legend predates 864 and the reform of the Edict of Pîtres, but it must be later than 843. It may have been struck between 850 and 860.
