Aachen penny of Charlemagne

The Aachen penny of Charlemagne, a Carolingian silver coin, was found on 22 February 2008 in the foundations of the Palatine Chapel in Aachen, during archaeological work in the northeastern bay of the hexadecagon.〔Archive of the building manager of Aachen Cathedral: (''Sanierung der Mosaiken, Marmorverkleidung und Fußböden im Zentralbau'' ). 2 April 2008, accessed on 5 April 2013 (German).〕 This is the first discovery of coinage from the time of Charlemagne at Aachen.〔Aachen Archaeology Portal: (Denar Karls'' ), accessed 5 April 2013 (German).〕
== Description of the coin ==
The obverse of the coin features a cross in the centre, surrounded by the Latin inscription ''CARLVS REX FR()'', which means ''Charles, King of the Fr()''; a cross is placed between ''FR'' and ''CARLVS'' as a separator. On the reverse, the famous monogram of Charlemagne is in the centre, with the v-shaped execution line. In the monetary reform of 792/794 it was determined that a pound would contain twenty shillings or 240 pennies. The introduction of the new monetary system with broadly unified coinage types (''novi denarii'') in the Frankish realm was decreed at the Council of Frankfurt in 794.〔Universität Würzburg History Department: (''Münzreform Karls des Großen'' ), accessed 5 April 2013 (German).〕 On this coinage type, the relevant mint is named on the reverse inscription - in the case of the Aachen penny found in 2008, the inscription is ''METVLLO.'' The silver penny was, therefore, minted in the period after 794 in the city of Melle, in Poitou-Charentes (modern-day France).〔ame/dpa: (''Geheimnisvoller Münzfund'' ). In: ''Focus Online.'' accessed 5 April 2013 (German).〕
