Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in France. The Bishopric of Lodève was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the region's history, and the coin's minting during this period reflects the complex dynamics of church and state power struggles during the Middle Ages.
