Comment
Imitation of a Denier of Saint-Martial Abbey of Limoges.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ebbo II ND (1218-1256) from Lordship of Châteaumeillant (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.90 g is that it features a unique design, with an ornate cross on the obverse side and a quatrefoil design on the reverse side. This design was used during the reign of Ebbo II, who was the Lord of Châteaumeillant from 1218 to 1256. The use of Billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of metals, was also a common practice during this time period.
