Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Patards coin from County of Burgundy (French States) made of Silver (.582) weighing 3.0 g is that it was minted during the reign of Philip IV of France, also known as Philip the Great, who ruled from 1610 to 1643. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to promote trade and commerce in the region. The 3 Patards coin was equivalent to 30 sous, or 300 deniers, and was widely used in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high value and made it a popular choice for merchants and traders. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of French currency.
