Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the French States. The County of Auvergne, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential region during the Middle Ages, and the coin's minting reflects the political and economic shifts that were taking place during this time.
