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 Viscounty of Châteaudun, where the coin was minted, was a powerful feudal state that played a significant role in the political and economic landscape of medieval France. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's minting technology and design demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship and artistry of the era.
