Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ange d'or - Philippe VI ND (1341-1342) coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Philippe VI in 1341, which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and simplify trade. The Ange d'or was a significant departure from previous French coins, as it was made of pure gold (.999) and featured a standardized design, which helped to establish trust and confidence in the currency. Despite its value, the coin was widely accepted and used in everyday transactions, reflecting the growing prosperity and trade in France during the 14th century.
