Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Lausanne (Vaud) where it was issued. The coin's anonymous design and lack of a specific date suggest that it was minted during a period of turmoil, possibly as a response to the need for a reliable and trustworthy currency despite the surrounding uncertainty. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin has survived for centuries and remains a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who used it.
