Comment
Drawing of Poey d'Avant is partly wrong, made based on a very worn coin.
Interesting fact
The Denier - Guy VII ND (1314-1317) from Viscounty of Limoges (French States) made of Billon is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of King Guy VII, who ruled the Viscounty of Limoges from 1314 to 1317. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, and the coin was likely used to facilitate transactions and commerce in the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency at the time.
