Comment
There are many variants of legend.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 and circulation indicate that the local economy was still functioning and that trade and commerce continued to thrive in the region.
