Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the reign of King Louis IX (also known as Saint Louis) who ruled from 1214 to 1270. This was a period of significant political and social change, including the establishment of the first French parliament and the rise of the nobility. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the medieval minting process.
