Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the "Anarchy" period, which lasted from 1040 to 1120. During this time, the country was plagued by civil wars, power struggles, and feudal lords vying for control, making it a challenging era for coin production and circulation. Despite these challenges, the County of Vendôme, where this coin was minted, managed to maintain a level of stability and continue producing coins, such as this Denier anonymous ND (1040-1120) coin, which is a testament to the resilience of the people and the importance of trade and commerce during that time.
