Commentary
Lothaire (né à la fin de 941 à Laon, mort le 2 mars 986 à Laon), est roi des Francs de 954 à 986.
Fils de Louis IV d'Outremer et de Gerberge de Saxe, il succède à son père, et est sacré le 12 novembre 954 à l'abbaye Saint-Remi de Reims par l'archevêque Artaud.
Suivant la volonté de son père qui l'avait associé au trône en 952, Lothaire écarte de la succession son jeune frère cadet Charles né au cours de l'été 953. En juin 977, ce dernier est exilé par son frère. Sans preuve, il aurait accusé son épouse Emma d'entretenir une relation d'adultère avec l'évêque de Laon, Adalbéron dit Ascelin. Réfugié à la cour de l'empereur Otton II de Germanie, son cousin, celui-ci le fait duc de Basse-Lotharingie.
Il règne sous la tutelle d'Hugues le Grand duc des Francs mais aussi sous celle de son oncle l'archevêque Brunon de Cologne. Malgré sa jeunesse, il a quatorze ans, Lothaire veut régner seul et asseoir son autorité envers ses vassaux.

Lothair (born at the end of 941 in Laon, died on March 2, 986 in Laon), was King of the Franks from 954 to 986. Son of Louis IV of Outremer and Gerberge of Saxony, he succeeded his father, and was crowned on November 12, 954 at the Abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims by Archbishop Artaud. Following the will of his father, who had associated him with the throne in 952, Lothair excluded from the succession his younger brother Charles, born during the summer of 953. In June 977, the latter was exiled by his brother. Without proof, he is said to have accused his wife Emma of having an adulterous relationship with the Bishop of Laon, Adalberon called Ascelin. Taking refuge at the court of Emperor Otto II of Germany, his cousin, the latter made him Duke of Lower Lotharingia. He reigned under the tutelage of Hugh the Grand Duke of the Franks, but also under that of his uncle, Archbishop Brunon of Cologne. Despite his youth, he was fourteen years old, Lothair wanted to reign alone and establish his authority over his vassals.

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.
