Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ebbes II ND (1141-1160) from Lordship of Déols (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.11 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis VII, who was struggling to maintain his power and authority in the face of growing opposition from his barons and the Church. Despite these challenges, the coin still bears the image of the king and the legend "DEI GRATIA," indicating that the king was still seen as a divinely appointed ruler. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex political and religious dynamics of medieval France.
