Comment
In 1070, Abbess Giselle placed the abbey under the authority of Emperor Henry IV, who in return confirmed the right to mint coins in Remiremont and Fénétranges.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the 13th century. This was a period of frequent wars, including the Crusades, and the coin's production may have been impacted by these conflicts. Additionally, the Abbey of Remiremont, where the coin was minted, was a significant religious and political center in the region, making the coin a unique piece of history.
