Comment
Analysis of the Saucas treasure has enabled Jean Duplessis to prove that this anonymous denarius predates 1137, making it impossible to attribute it to Eleonore, who would have had it struck between 1189 and 1204.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis VII, who was known for his military campaigns and his role in the Second Crusade.
