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 Louis IX (also known as Saint Louis) who was King of France from 1214 to 1270. This was a period of significant political and social change, including the establishment of the first French parliament and the rise of the nobility. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, offering a glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of medieval France.
