Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Despite the conflict, the Lordship of Saint-Aignan was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this Denier. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Saint-Aignan during a difficult period in history.
