Comment
Imitation of Hugh XI and XII coinage, counts of the Marche (see example in link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, specifically during the reign of Raymond VI, who was the Viscount of Turenne and a powerful noble in the region. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the medieval minting process.
