Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Blanc "au K" ou "des gens d'armes" - Charles VII ND (1431-1435) from France made of Billon weighing 2.61 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles VII, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the French economy. The coin's design, which features a crowned king on one side and a shield with the French fleur-de-lis on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, 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 or gold coins.
