🏰 Historical Note

Louis II, grandson of Charlemagne, ruled as Emperor of the Carolingian Empire from 855 until his death in 875. His coinage from Beneventum is particularly scarce, reflecting his campaigns and influence in southern Italy. The inclusion of Angilberga’s name on this issue underscores her political importance and makes this type especially significant.
