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.
