<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2039099, member: 44210&quot;]I only have four so far but I wanted to make a collage like some of you have recently done so I thought that this would be an easy one to make, since, like I said there&#039;s only four coins, and also because all of them have almost the same kind of background.</p><p><br /></p><p>(click to enlarge)</p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/Carolingians_zps48f86690.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins in the first row and the first of the second row are deniers of Louis the Pious (Charlemagne&#039;s son), and the second coin of the second row is an obol of Charles the Bald (Louis&#039;s son). Clockwise the mints are Metallum, unknown, Metallum (Metullo on the coin), and Venice (which, oddly enough wasn&#039;t officially a Frankish city but made Carolingian coins anyways).</p><p><br /></p><p>Cool history on the Carolingians courtesy of Encyclopaedia Britannica:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/96523/Carolingian-dynasty" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/96523/Carolingian-dynasty" rel="nofollow">http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/96523/Carolingian-dynasty</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(click to enlarge)</p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/carolingians814ad_zps59bff5fb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
