Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Peter II of Bourbon, who was the ruler of the Principality of Dombes, a small state within the French States, from 1488 to 1503. Despite being a relatively small and short-lived state, the Principality of Dombes was known for its rich agricultural land and its strategic location along trade routes, which made it an important center of commerce and trade. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 2.20 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time.
