Comment
De Saulcy VI, 17.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denier coin from the Duchy of Lorraine is that it features an image of John I, also known as John the Good, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1348 to 1389. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the economy of the region. The coin's design includes an image of John I on horseback, with his name and title inscribed on the obverse, and an image of an eagle on the reverse. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.4 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
