Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Duchy of Normandy. The coin was issued during the reign of Richard II and his successors, who ruled the Duchy from 996 to 1050. This period saw significant political and social upheaval, including the Viking invasions and the struggle for power between the Normans and the French. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
