I just finished the cleaning process today. It came out really good. Better than I expected, to be honest.
If we compare it with other known denari of this type, a couple of things stand out:
The Charlemagne monogram is heavily simplified on this denarius.
The reverse also has a divergent monogram. It's also in another position, compared with other ET LANG AC PAT denari.

The complete legend on this piece is:
Side one: + CARLVS REX FR
Side two: + ET LANG AC PA
