Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry I, who was also known as Henry the Young King, and was the son of King Louis VII of France. Despite being the heir apparent to the French throne, Henry I never became king, as he died before his father. However, he did rule the Duchy of Aquitaine, which is now a region in southwestern France, and this coin was issued during his reign.
