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 system of coinage that included the denier, which was a silver coin that was worth one-twelfth of a livre tournois, the standard unit of account at the time. The denier was widely used throughout France and was an important step in the development of a standardized system of currency.
