One can think that these denari were struck between 771 and 794 .. which places this strike between the first two periods for Charlemagne. I classified this coin in the second period because of the monogram which is the type adopted for this period. It is probably a transition with the type CARO _ LVS  in two lines, struck during the first period. Which would make these coins the first strikes with the monogram.
