Comment

For these coins with the Fulk monogram, there are a large number of types: straight or inverted monogram, differences in the legends and in the quarters of the cross; just as it is rather difficult to say to which of the two counts of Anjou belongs each denier.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the "Anarchy" period, which lasted from 1136 to 1153. During this time, the country was plagued by civil wars, power struggles, and feudal rivalries, which made it difficult for the government to maintain control over the minting of coins. Despite these challenges, the Denier coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout France.
