Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Guy de Prangins ND (1375-1394) from Bishopric of Lausanne (Vaud) made of Silver weighing 0.80 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Pope Gregory XI, who played a significant role in the Western Schism, a period of great division within the Catholic Church. Additionally, the coin was minted during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, which had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of medieval coin makers.
