Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Eustace I, who was the Count of Boulogne from 1020 to 1049. During his rule, he supported the English king Edward the Confessor, and this coin may have been used as a form of payment for the soldiers who fought in the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
