Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Geoffrey V, who was the Viscount of Châteaudun from 1215 to 1233. This coin is a rare example of a denier coin made of billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in medieval Europe for coinage. The fact that it weighs 0.69 grams suggests that it was minted using a specific technique and process that was unique to the Viscounty of Châteaudun during that time period.
