Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Hugh Bardoul ND (1035-1055) from Lordship of Nogent-le-Roi (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.17 g is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in medieval Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Hugh Bardoul, who was the Lord of Nogent-le-Roi from 1035 to 1055. This period saw the rise of feudalism and the decline of the Carolingian Empire, and the coin may have been used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time. 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 for the people of the time.
