Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Lordship of Issoudun, minted during the reign of Geoffrey ND (1093-1127), was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and other metals, typically copper. Despite being made of a base metal, the coin still held significant value in the medieval economy, with its weight of 0.96 grams making it a substantial unit of exchange.
