Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the reign of King Louis VII (1137-1180). The County of Auxerre, where the coin was minted, was a strategic location that played a significant role in the conflicts between the French crown and the Church. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin's design and production remained consistent with the high standards of the era, reflecting the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
