Another of the copy preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (public domain), link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b104127921.r=louis%20le%20pieux?rk=858373;2.

 

Yet another coin sold by cgb.fr, link to the sale and their website: https://www.cgb.fr/louis-ier-le-pieux-ou-le-debonnaire-denier-sup-ttb-,v39_0001,a.html. The letter S on the obverse is badly inscribed, perhaps a die break also.. difficult to know. The globule on the reverse seems to be present but erased.

 

The only difference with type 1 is the presence of the globule on the reverse.
