Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Odo ND (963-1025), who was the Viscount of Limoges in France. The coin features an image of Odo on one side and the name of the viscounty on the other. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from this time period and region, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the skill of the medieval minting process.
