Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in France. The Archbishopric of Vienne was a powerful and influential institution in the 12th century, and the coin's minting can be seen as a reflection of the church's economic and political power during this period. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the wealth and resources available to the church during this time.
