Interesting fact
The Denier coin from County of Nevers (French States) made of Silver weighing 1.02 g, minted during the reign of William IV (1161-1168), features an unusual design on its obverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of the king's crowned head, this coin bears an image of a cross fleury, which was a symbol of the County of Nevers. This unique design choice was likely made to reflect the county's independence and autonomy from the French crown.
