Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the use of lilies, which were a symbol of purity and innocence in medieval times. This suggests that the coin may have been intended to convey a message of moral values and cleanliness. Additionally, the use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable than pure silver and had a lower cost of production.
