The Carolingian denier coin described was minted in Limoges during the reign of Eudes (Odo), King of the West Franks from 888 to 898 AD, marking him as the first king of the Robertian dynasty. This silver coin features an obverse with Odo’s monogram surrounded by "+GRATIA DI REX" and a reverse displaying a short cross encircled by "LIMOVICS CIVIS." Hoard evidence suggests that this coin type was introduced during Eudes’ reign, though some debate exists regarding its dating, with possible minting continuing into the 10th century as an "immobilized type," indicating a standardized design used over an extended period.
In later posthumous restrikes, potentially around 980 AD, the original monogram of Odo, structured as + / ODO / +, was altered to a motif featuring four crosses arranged in a cross pattern. These restrikes are characterized by inscriptions such as "+GIATIAD - II" around the four crosses on the obverse and "+LIIIoVICAACVS" around a cross on the reverse. The coin, weighing 1.30 grams, exhibits a beautiful dark patina, enhancing its historical and aesthetic value. References to catalog entries like MG 1332 further contextualize its numismatic significance.
