Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - René I ND (1424-1431) from Duchy of Bar (Bar, French States) made of Billon weighing 0.4 g is that it was minted during the reign of René I, who was the Duke of Bar from 1424 to 1431. This coin was used as a means of payment during his rule and was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. Despite its small weight of 0.4 grams, it was an important part of the economy of the Duchy of Bar during that time.
