Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Godfrey ND (1350-1362) in the County of Chiny, which was a part of the French States. This coin is made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically copper, silver, and sometimes gold. The fact that it weighs 0.96 grams suggests that it was a relatively small coin, making it an interesting piece of history to collect and study.
