Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Agnel d'or (Charles VII Le Victorieux) ND (1423-1427) coin from France is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced by King Charles VII in 1423 as part of a broader effort to reform the French currency and stimulate trade. The Agnel d'or was a new denomination that was valued at one-third of a gold écu, and it was intended to be a more accessible and practical coin for everyday transactions. The coin's design featured an angel holding a fleur-de-lis, which symbolized the French monarchy and its connection to the divine. Despite its introduction during a time of turmoil, the Agnel d'or became a popular coin and helped to establish France as a major economic power in Europe.
