Comment
The two-line inscription on the obverse is quite common and often misunderstood although it is actually very simple: it is simply the end of the lettering which must be read clockwise FRANCO, hence the impression that the letter C is sometimes reversed.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip II Augustus, who was known for his military conquests and administrative reforms, which helped to strengthen the French monarchy and lay the foundations for the country's future power and influence in Europe.
