Commentary
Louis IV dit d'Outremer (10 septembre 920 ou 921 – 10 septembre 954, Reims), fils de Charles III le Simple et d'Edwige de Wessex, est un roi des Francs (936-954) de la dynastie carolingienne.
Après la déchéance en 922 de son père le roi Charles III le Simple, sa mère et le prince Louis, âgé de deux ans, se réfugient en Angleterre (d’où son surnom d’Outremer), à la cour de son grand-père maternel Édouard l'Ancien, puis à celle de son oncle Æthelstan, rois de Wessex. Devenu l'héritier carolingien par la mort en captivité de Charles III (929), il est rappelé d'Angleterre par le puissant marquis de Neustrie Hugues le Grand afin de succéder au roi Raoul mort au début de l'année 936, laquelle marque alors le retour de la dynastie carolingienne.
Son règne riche en rebondissements nous est avant tout connu par les Annales de Flodoard puis plus tardivement par les Histoires de Richer de Reims. Une fois au pouvoir, Louis d'Outremer souhaite s'éloigner de Hugues le Grand devenu duc des Francs et seconde personnalité du royaume après le roi. Dans un premier temps il se lance à la conquête de la Lotharingie (939). Cette expédition est un échec et son beau-frère Otton Ier ne tarde pas à le soumettre en assiégeant la cité de Reims (940). Dans un second temps, après la mort du comte des Normands Guillaume Longue Epée, Louis IV tente de prendre à son compte le gouvernement de Normandie mais il est kidnappé par les hommes de Hugues le Grand (945).

Louis IV, known as Louis d'Outremer (10 September 920 or 921 – 10 September 954, Reims), son of Charles III the Simple and Hedwig of Wessex, was a king of the Franks (936-954) of the Carolingian dynasty.
After the fall of his father, King Charles III the Simple, in 922, his mother and the two-year-old Prince Louis took refuge in England (hence his nickname Outremer), at the court of his maternal grandfather Edward the Elder, then at that of his uncle Æthelstan, King of Wessex.. Having become the Carolingian heir following the death in captivity of Charles III (929), he was recalled from England by the powerful Marquis of Neustria, Hugh the Great, in order to succeed King Raoul, who had died at the beginning of 936, which marked the return of the Carolingian dynasty..
His reign, rich in twists and turns, is known to us first and foremost through the Annals of Flodoard and later through the Histories of Richer of Reims.. Once in power, Louis d'Outremer wanted to distance himself from Hugh the Great, who had become Duke of the Franks and second most important figure in the kingdom after the king.. First he set out to conquer Lotharingia (939). This expedition was a failure and his brother-in-law Otto I was quick to subdue him by besieging the city of Reims (940). Later, after the death of the Count of Normandy, William Longsword, Louis IV attempted to take over the government of Normandy but was kidnapped by the men of Hugh the Great (945)..

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.
