Comment
Imitation of the Denier with horseman of Henry the Blonde, count of Luxembourg (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry II, who was the first king of the House of Lancaster and ruled England from 1216 to 1272. He was also known as Henry III of France, and this coin was minted in the County of Vaudemont, which was a part of the French States. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
