Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Blanc with crown - Louis XI ND (1461-1474) from France made of Billon (.359 silver) weighing 3.022 g is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in France. Louis XI, who ruled from 1461 to 1474, implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the French economy and centralizing power in the monarchy. The coin's design, featuring a crowned portrait of the king on one side and a cross fleury on the other, reflects the political and religious influences of the time. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin was an important symbol of the French monarchy and played a significant role in the economy of the time.
