Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Duchy of Burgundy. Philip III, also known as Philip the Good, was the Duke of Burgundy from 1419 until his death in 1467. During his reign, he faced numerous challenges, including the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and the struggles for power within his own dynasty. Despite these challenges, Philip III managed to maintain the power and influence of the Duchy of Burgundy, and his coinage, such as this Blanc with shield at seven quarters, remains a testament to his legacy.
