Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from Henry IV's heavy coinage is that it was minted in Calais, which was an English possession at the time, and bears the inscription "CALAIS" on the reverse side. This indicates that the coin was minted specifically for use in the territory of Calais, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the medieval period.
