Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Odo I, who was the Count of Issoudun and a prominent figure in the French States during the 11th century. The coin features an image of Odo I on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing his authority and the Christian faith that was prevalent during that time. Despite its small weight of 0.9 grams, the coin played an important role in the economy of the Lordship of Issoudun and surrounding regions, serving as a means of exchange and a symbol of power and influence.
