Interesting fact
The Denier - Philip II (Arras) ND (1180-1223) coin from France was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and other metals, typically copper. This coin was issued during the reign of King Philip II of France, also known as Philip Augustus, who ruled from 1180 to 1223. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in transactions throughout France during that time.
