This page has a number of coins which I have have not been able to identify clearly from my sources. There might have an extra letter in a legend, an unusual retrograde element or some other distinguishing feature beyond die variations. Coins will drop from this page if I can adequately ID them.

Louis the Pious

AR obole, 16mm, .63gr. Obv: LVDO/VVIC in two lines. Rev: +NETALLVHP, central cross. Mint is Melle. R1164v; Prou 710v (no P at end of legend); MG-; Gariel-; Bel-, MEC-. The reverse legend, ending in P, is not in any of these sources. Prou 710 comes closest (+NETALLVH). The obole he cites is .78gr.

Pepin II/Pippin II

(for a larger version of this coin, click here)

AR obole, 16mm, .66gr. Obv: +PPIMIVS REX, central cross. Rev: IA(inverted)QA/AII.IAT (retrograde of AQVI/TANIA). R1863v; Dep 186bv; MG 601v; MEC 812v-813v; Prou 660v; Gariel-. Mint is Bourges. No source matched the legend PPIM or the retrograde reverse. Perhaps an uncatalogued coin.
