Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design element - a small shield with the royal coat of arms, which was a departure from the traditional fleur-de-lis design used on previous French coins. This change in design was a nod to the influence of the Renaissance and the desire to showcase the power and prestige of the French monarchy.
