Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Reynald I, who was the Archbishop of Reims from 1083 to 1096. During his tenure, he played a significant role in the political and religious affairs of the region, and his coinage reflects the economic and cultural developments of that time. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this period, and the weight of 1.28 grams was a standard denomination for coins of this type.
