Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political turmoil in France. The Viscounty of Narbonne, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential region in the south of France, and the archbishop Arnaud Amalric was a prominent religious leader of the time. The coin's minting was likely a reflection of the political and economic alliances between the Viscounty and the Church.
