Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier anonymous ND (940-950) from County of Vendôme (French States) made of Billon is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis IV, also known as Louis d'Outremer, who ruled West Francia from 936 to 954. This was a period of significant turmoil, with the Carolingian Empire collapsing and new powers rising in Europe. Despite these challenges, the County of Vendôme was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this Denier.
