Interesting fact
The Charles VII Blanc coin was minted during a time of great change in France. It was issued during the reign of Charles VII, who was known as "Charles the Victorious" for his military victories, including the defeat of the English in the Hundred Years' War. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of French royalty, on the other. It was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with some rare examples selling for thousands of dollars.
