Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Charles III, who was also known as Charles the Simple, and was the King of France from 1290 to 1325. Despite his nickname, Charles III was known for his efforts to strengthen the French monarchy and his coinage reforms, which included the introduction of a new standardized coinage system that included the denier, which this coin is an example of.
