Carolingian. Hugh the Great (923-956) Denier ND MS62 NGC, Paris mint, 1.20g, Poey d'Avant-11. + [G]RΛTIΛ DI RVX (D and Rs retrograde), cross pattée / PARISI CIVITΛ (S retrograde), legend in two lines with a small cross above and below. An extremely rare issue of Hugh as Count of Paris and remarkably similar to the issues of Raoul during the same period, although with a cross in place of the Karolus monogram (cf. Dup-774). It is deeply toned with only minor striking weakness and is reportedly one of only two examples known of this type from this mint.
Ex. CNG (Triton XX, January 2017, Lot 1135)
From the F.P. Briand Collection
