Commentary
Petite barre à droite dans le champ au revers. Il est difficile de dire s’il agit d’un défaut du coin ou d’une réelle marque.
Small bar on the right in the field on the reverse. It is difficult to tell if this is a die defect or an actual mark.

Historical background
LOUIS THE PIOUS
(01/25/814-06/20/840)
Louis, who had been king of Aquitaine since 781, became emperor without issue on the death of his father in 814, the only surviving legitimate son. In the first part of his reign, until the year 829, he continued the work of his father and his coinage. The birth of Charles from a second marriage in 823 with Judith of Bavaria will bring his other sons, Lothair, Pepin and Louis to revolt against him. He was dethroned twice in 830 and 833 and the kingdom remained divided until his death in 840.
