Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Duke Arthur I of Brittany, who was known for his efforts to assert the independence of Brittany from France. Despite being a vassal of the French king, Arthur I issued his own coins, like this denier, which featured the Breton coat of arms and demonstrated the duchy's autonomy.
