Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Richard I ND (1196-1199) from Lordship of Issoudun (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.86 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, who was the King of England from 1189 to 1199. Despite being the King of England, Richard I spent most of his reign in France, where he was also the Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Gascony. This coin was likely used to finance his military campaigns during the Third Crusade.
