Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Barthélemi Chuet ND (1469-1472) from Bishopric of Lausanne (Vaud) made of Billon weighing 0.8 g is that it features a unique design, with an image of a bishop on one side and a shield with a cross on the other. This design was used to signify the coin's origins and to show the religious influence of the Bishopric of Lausanne. Additionally, the use of Billon, a mixture of copper and silver, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver coins.
