Commentary
Charles Ier, dit le Grand ou Charlemagne (en latin Carolus Magnus, en allemand Karl der Große), est né le 2 avril, probablement en 742 ou 748, sans certitude quant au lieu de naissance. Il est mort à Aix-la-Chapelle le 28 janvier 814. Il est roi des Francs (768-814), devient par conquête roi des Lombards (774-814) et est couronné empereur par le pape Léon III le 25 décembre 800, relevant une dignité prestigieuse disparue depuis l'an 476 en Occident.
Monarque guerrier, il agrandit notablement son royaume par une série de campagnes successives, en particulier par la lente mais néanmoins violente soumission des Saxons païens (772-804). Souverain réformateur, soucieux d'orthodoxie religieuse et de culture, il protège les arts et les lettres et est à l'origine de la « renaissance carolingienne ».
Son œuvre politique immédiate ne lui survit pas longtemps. Respectueux de la tradition germanique en matière successorale, Charlemagne avait prévu le partage de l'Empire entre ses trois fils dès 806. L'empire ne sera finalement partagé entre ses trois petits-fils qu'au traité de Verdun en 843. Le morcellement féodal des siècles suivants, puis la division de l'Europe en États-Nations rivaux condamnent à l'impuissance ceux qui tentent explicitement de restaurer l'empire universel de Charlemagne, en particulier les souverains du Saint-Empire romain germanique, d'Otton Ier en 962 à Charles Quint au XVIe siècle, ou encore Napoléon Ier, hanté par l'exemple du plus éminent des Carolingiens.

Charles I, known as the Great or Charlemagne (in Latin Carolus Magnus, in German Karl der Große), was born on April 2, probably in 742 or 748, without certainty as to the place of birth. He died in Aix-la-Chapelle on January 28, 814. He was king of the Franks (768-814), became king of the Lombards by conquest (774-814) and was crowned emperor by Pope Leo III on December 25, 800, reviving a prestigious dignity that had disappeared in the West since the year 476..
A warrior monarch, he significantly expanded his kingdom through a series of successive campaigns, in particular through the slow but nevertheless violent submission of the pagan Saxons (772-804). A reforming sovereign, concerned with religious orthodoxy and culture, he protected the arts and literature and was at the origin of the \\\"Carolingian renaissance\\\".
His immediate political work did not long outlive him.. Respectful of the Germanic tradition in matters of succession, Charlemagne had planned the division of the Empire between his three sons from 806. The empire was finally divided between his three grandsons only at the Treaty of Verdun in 843.. The feudal fragmentation of the following centuries, then the division of Europe into rival nation-states, condemned to impotence those who explicitly attempted to restore the universal empire of Charlemagne, in particular the sovereigns of the Holy Roman Empire, from Otto I in 962 to Charles V in the 16th century, or even Napoleon I, haunted by the example of the most eminent of the Carolingians..

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
