Commentary
Louis Ier dit le Pieux ou « le Débonnaire » est né en 778 et mort le 20 juin 840 sur une île du Rhin à Ingelheim-Am-Rhein près de Mayence en Allemagne. Il a été inhumé auprès de sa mère en l'abbaye Saint-Arnould de Metz.
Il est né en été 778, en l'absence de son père Charlemagne, qui entreprend alors une expédition militaire vers l'Espagne. Sa mère, Hildegarde de Vintzgau, le met au monde à la villa Cassino Gilum, Chasseneuil - du - Poitou, dans l'actuel département de la Vienne. Son frère jumeau, Lothaire, meurt peu après.
Louis le Pieux est roi d'Aquitaine (781-814) et empereur d'Occident (814-840). Son règne est marqué par de nombreuses menaces sur l'unité de l'Empire carolingien légué par son père Charlemagne : ses fils se révoltent contre lui, et il doit faire face aux raids des Vikings. Durant cette période, les ambitions des aristocrates s'affirment de plus en plus, menaçant le pouvoir impérial.

Louis I, known as the Pious or \\\"the Pious,\\\" was born in 778 and died on June 20, 840, on an island in the Rhine at Ingelheim-Am-Rhein near Mainz, Germany. He was buried next to his mother at the Abbey of Saint-Arnould in Metz. He was born in the summer of 778, in the absence of his father Charlemagne, who was then undertaking a military expedition to Spain. His mother, Hildegard of Vintzgau, gave birth to him at the villa Cassino Gilum, Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, in the present-day department of Vienne. His twin brother, Lothair, died shortly after. Louis the Pious was King of Aquitaine (781-814) and Emperor of the West (814-840). His reign was marked by numerous threats to the unity of the Carolingian Empire bequeathed by his father Charlemagne: his sons revolted against him, and he had to face Viking raids. During this period, the ambitions of the aristocrats became increasingly assertive, threatening imperial power. For the rest of his biography, see http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_le_Pieux

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.
