Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Provencal Coronat coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on coins of this era. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the coin's connection to the Christian faith and the influence of the Church in the region where it was minted.
