Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the Second Baron's War (1248-1254) and the subsequent War of the Saintonge (1254-1257). Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still features the standard circulation design of the Denier anonymous with crozier, indicating that the minting process and currency system remained relatively consistent despite the surrounding conflict.
