Description
Carolingian. Charlemagne (768-814) Denier ND (792/3-812) XF (edge chip, light flan crack), Pavia mint, Class 3, Rob-986, MEC I-145var (pellet after A in mint), Dep-780E, MG-208var (pellet between P and A). 20mm. 1.56gm. +CARLVS (S on side) REX FR, legend surrounding cross potent within inner beaded border / +PAPIA, mint name surrounding CAROLVS monogram within inner beaded border. A rare and incredibly desirable series in general, both for its historicity and tie to the semi-legendary figure of Charlemagne, often considered as the father of medieval Europe, the Italian issues of Charlemagne take on a rarity entirely of their own. While just lightly circulated, the present example maintains an admirable strike, perfectly centered on its characteristically broad, post-reform flan with a dabbling of champagne tone in amidst graphite surfaces. Very faint die polish lines can be seen upon close inspection, and virtually no traces of striking weakness are to be found. While unfortunate, the noted edge chip has kept just clear of the legends.Ex.
