Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France. Despite the conflict, the Lordship of Montélimar, where this coin was minted, remained loyal to the French crown. The coin's design, featuring the name and title of the ruling lord, Gaucher Adhemar, and the coat of arms of Montélimar, symbolizes the region's allegiance to the French monarchy.
