Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique monogramme odonique, which is a stylized letter "D" that represents the name of the king, Philippe Ier. This monogramme is found on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "ND" which stands for "Nostre Dame" or "Our Lady," indicating the coin's minting location in Etampes, France. The use of this monogramme odonique was a distinctive feature of Philippe Ier's coinage and sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
