Comment
All large B type coins were minted on blank sides (see the book on Bonifacian medieval coins, page 35).
The simple large B version is the rarest, and is almost circular in shape for this type.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier (type 3) - Bonifacio ND (1282-1453) from City of Bonifacio (French States) made of Copper weighing 0.43 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Louis IX of France, also known as Saint Louis. He was a prominent figure in French history and is known for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and religious devotion. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the French royal mint, and it would have been used in everyday transactions throughout the French States.
