Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Soissons. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins. Despite its relatively low value, this coin still holds historical significance as a representation of the economic and monetary systems of the time.
