<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8277962, member: 118540&quot;]There are some nice silver deniers, in this thread.</p><p>I find it interesting, the relationship, between the French silver deniers, and the silver deniers of other countries, and the English silver pennies.</p><p>Recently, I managed to acquire this silver denier, from the reign of Charles III The Simple (898 AD to 922 AD).</p><p>I like the colorful nicknames, that many of the French kings had, during the Dark Ages and Middle Ages. For example :</p><p>Pepin The Short : 751 AD To 768 AD</p><p>Louis The Pious : 813 AD To 840 AD</p><p>Charles The Bald : 875 AD To 877 AD</p><p>Charles III The Simple : 898 AD To 922 AD</p><p>Louis VI The Fat : 1108 AD To 1137 AD</p><p>Here are the seller photos, of my silver denier. Note the retrograde legend &quot;CARLVS REX R&quot; on the obverse side. Retrograde letters, and even entire retrograde legends, happened occasionally on silver deniers, because of human error.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1461772[/ATTACH]</p><p>France. Charles III The Simple.
