Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Philip I of France, who ruled from 1060 to 1108. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design for coins during this time period. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also typical for coins of this era. Despite its small weight of 0.82 grams, this coin was an important part of the economy in medieval France and was likely used for everyday transactions.
