Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Steven ND (1280-1306) from Lordship of Charenton (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.11 g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was minted during the reign of King Philip IV, also known as Philip the Fair, who ruled from 1285 to 1314. During his reign, France experienced a period of economic growth and cultural revival, and the introduction of new coinage systems, such as the Denier, helped to facilitate trade and commerce. The fact that this coin was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, also speaks to the technological advancements and innovations in metallurgy that were taking place during this time period.
