Charlemagne enthroned facing holding sceptre and globe dividing date, shield with eagle below. Rev. crowned double-headed eagle with globe on breast.Ex Cherry Tree Collection. Charlemagne is throughout the ages a recurring figure on the coins of Aachen. The city always had a special connection to the legendary monarch as it reportedly had been his favorite residence, and later became his final resting place. He was buried in the Aachen Cathedral, until emperor Frederick II moved his remains into the newly constructed Karlsschrein, which to this day remains at the Cathedral.29.04 g.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS XF45, but I couldn&#039;t find a higher graded or better looking specimen during my research.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the toning. And it&#039;s old. And well, Charlemagne was just boss. He is widely regarded as one of history’s most effective leaders: he united much of Western Europe, promoted education and culture, and laid the foundations for the Holy Roman Empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1694964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1694965[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
