Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John III, who was also known as John of Elven, and was the Duke of Brittany from 1312 to 1341. He was known for his efforts to maintain the independence of Brittany from the Kingdom of France, and this coin may have been minted as a way to promote his image and authority as a ruler.
