an ancient English broad piece of gold struck under Charles I. Its value has of late been at 2½s. sterling, though at the time it was coined it is said to have been rated at 20s.

a small copper coin, with a little silver mixed with it, struck under Charles VIII. of France. The carolus was worth 12 deniers when it ceased to be current. Those which are still current in trade in Lorraine, or in some neighbouring provinces, go under the name of French fols.
