Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Humbert I, who was the Bishop of Grenoble from 1281 to 1307. During his episcopacy, Humbert I implemented various reforms and projects, including the construction of a new cathedral, which was completed in 1306. This coin, which features the bishop's name and title, provides a glimpse into the economic and political activities of the Bishopric of Grenoble during this time period.
