Denarius, type 1, var 1
HLVDOVVICVI (Laureate and draped bust of Louis The Pious on the right).
PAPIA (circular legend around a city gate with a cross above).
One copy preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (public domain), link to the page of their website showing the photo of the coin: http://www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=2376319&viewType=detailView.
I think that this coin is an contemporary imitation, it misses the legend ''IMP AVG'' on the obverse and the name LVDOVICVS ends with VI. On the reverse, the circular legend is below and the cross above the door and not below as on all other coins of this type. The general style resembles that which one sees on the Frisian imitations for the Sou d'or (Solidus).
