Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Raymond I, who was the Viscount of Narbonne from 966 to 1023. The coin features an image of the viscount on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during this time period. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was often used in the production of currency during the Middle Ages.
