Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne - Carolingian Empire

Finally received it on Monday, along with two other coins. As usual, my camera fails to accurately get the color completely right so I've tweaked it a little in Photoshop. The exposed silver surfaces are a bit more silvery (and not washed out grey) in hand.

Cool addition VK. Sucks when our cameras dont capture the coin as we see it.

 

Sweet!! => man, I love the new photoo, Jango!! (that baby looks like it's gonna be a winner no matter what camera you're using!! ... great coin)

 

Thanks guys! I have it out right now and just cannot stop looking at it lol. Quite a stunning piece from the Dark Ages imo.
