Comment
Imitation of the Deniers of Nevers (see example in link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Louis VII, who was known for his military campaigns and his role in the Second Crusade. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design features the name of Louis ND (1160-1205) and the Lordship of Bourbon, indicating its origin and connection to the French States.
