Commentary


Exemplaire complètement inédit. Deux types d’oboles, rares toutes les deux, sont connues pour Narbonne. La légende de droit ne correspond à aucun de ces deux types, tout comme la légende de revers où le “E” ne semble pas être une double frappe du “B”. Type nouveau, non répertorié, manquant à toutes les collections et absent de tous les trésors !.

Historical background


LOUIS THE PIOUS

(01/25/814-06/20/840)

Louis, who had been king of Aquitaine since 781, became emperor without issue on the death of his father in 814, the only surviving legitimate son. In the first part of his reign, until the year 829, he continued the work of his father and his coinage. The birth of Charles from a second marriage in 823 with Judith of Bavaria will bring his other sons, Lothair, Pepin and Louis to revolt against him. He was dethroned twice in 830 and 833 and the kingdom remained divided until his death in 840.
