Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip I of France, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms. He introduced a new standardized system of coinage, which included the denier, a silver coin that was worth one-twentieth of a livre tournois, the standard unit of account at the time. This coin was minted in Etampes, a city in central France, and bears the letter "X" on the reverse side, which indicates that it was minted at this particular location. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.18 grams suggests that it was a significant coin in the French economy at the time.
