Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Adhemar of Monteil, who was the Bishop of Metz from 1327 to 1361. During this period, the Empire was facing challenges from the rise of nationalism and the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Metz was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, such as this silver denier.
