Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John I, who was the Count of Blois and Chartres from 1241 until his death in 1279. During his rule, he played a significant role in the conflicts between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, and this coin may have been used to finance his military campaigns.
