Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Puy, which was a small state within the larger kingdom of France. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's minting was likely a significant event for the local economy and trade, as it provided a means of exchange and facilitated commerce within the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the coin's intended longevity and the value placed on it by those who minted and used it.
