Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alphonse Jourdain, who was the Count of Toulouse from 1112 to 1148. During his rule, he supported the troubadours, who were medieval poet-musicians, and encouraged the use of the Occitan language in his court. This coin, made of silver and weighing 1.07 grams, is a testament to the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the County of Toulouse during that time period.
