Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ralph VI ND (1160-1176) from Lordship of Déols (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.90 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis VII, who was struggling to maintain his power and authority in the face of growing opposition from his nobles and the Church. Despite these challenges, the coin still bears the image of the king and the insignia of the Lordship of Déols, indicating the continued importance of the monarchy and the local lordships during this time.
