<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2091595, member: 39&quot;]That coin was issued in 1990 as the first part of a (loose) series featuring important Europeans. On the other side, below the face value, you see his <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Karldergrossesignatur.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Karldergrossesignatur.jpg" rel="nofollow">&quot;signature&quot;</a>: KAROLVS - the square in the center works as an A (upper half), as an O (entire square) and as a V/U (lower half).</p><p><br /></p><p>That sig was also used on some of his coins, such as this <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Charlemagne_denier_Tours_793_to_812.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Charlemagne_denier_Tours_793_to_812.jpg" rel="nofollow">denier</a> for example. Mintage of the coin you show us was 5 million; it came in this version and six other (more expensive) ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another Charlemagne coin (this time in a Heads of State series), from 2011.
