Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Louis VI, who was known as "Louis the Fat" due to his obesity. Despite his physical appearance, Louis VI was a successful king who expanded the French kingdom and strengthened its economy. This coin, made of billon and weighing 0.91g, was likely used in everyday transactions during his reign and is a small but significant piece of history.
