Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Theoderic V, who was the Bishop of Metz from 1365 to 1383. The coin features an image of Theoderic on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Metz on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 1.1 grams also make it a notable example of medieval coinage.
