Kingdom of France, Hugh the Great in the Name of Raoul, Denier (obverse) Kingdom of France, Hugh the Great in the Name of Raoul, Denier (reverse)

This denier was issued by Hugh the Great, ruler over numerous duchies in France. The obverse shows the monogram of King Raoul (923-936), Hugh's brother-in-law, and the inscription GRATIA D – I, by the grace of God. The reverse gives the name of the mint CASTIS LANDINI (Château-Landon). The letter "R" of CASTRIS is missing, however, and the "N's" are inverted.
