Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the reign of John I, who was king from 1268 to 1280. This was a period of political instability and conflict, including the famous Sicilian Vespers, a rebellion against French rule in Sicily. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the medieval minting process.
