Comment

Le Bigot gives a piéfort for this type (B 472), a variant of Jéz 123 f1.
Variations are found in the difference placed on either side of the initial cross, in the shape of the L (on the right) and T (on the reverse), which may or may not be filleted, and in the movement of the two flecks that frame DVX above and below.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le Bigot donne un piéfort à ce type (B 472), variant du Jéz 123 f1.
Les variantes sont dans le différent placé de part et d'autre de la croisette initiale, dans la forme des L (au droit) et T (au revers), bouletés ou non, enfin dans le mouvement des deux mouchetures qui encadrent DVX au-dessus et au-dessous.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles ND (1341-1364) from Duchy of Brittany (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.16 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 de Blois, who was the Duke of Brittany from 1341 until his death in 1364. During this time, the Duchy of Brittany was facing economic challenges due to the effects of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, which had disrupted trade and led to a shortage of coinage. The minting of this coin was likely a response to these challenges, as it was made of a cheaper alloy (billon) than previous coins and was designed to be widely available for use in everyday transactions. Despite its humble origins, this coin remains an interesting piece of history for collectors and historians today.
