Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John II and Blanche I of Navarre, who ruled the kingdom from 1425 to 1441. This coin is a rare example of a billon denier, which was a type of coin that was minted in France and other parts of Europe during the Middle Ages. Billon coins were made of a mixture of silver and other metals, and were used as a form of currency for everyday transactions. The fact that this coin has survived for over 600 years and is still in existence today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of the Kingdom of Navarre.
