Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles II (Nancy) ND (1400-1430) from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.4 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1400 to 1430. During this period, the Duchy of Lorraine was facing economic challenges due to the decline of the traditional feudal system and the rise of trade and commerce. The minting of this coin was likely a response to these changes, as it was designed to facilitate trade and commerce within the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political conditions of the time.
