Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Denier coin from the Bishopric of Metz is that it features an image of Adhemar of Monteil, also known as Adhemar of Marsal, who was a prominent bishop and politician in the 14th century. He served as the Bishop of Metz from 1327 until his death in 1361, and was known for his support of the French monarchy and his role in the Hundred Years' War. The coin's design, which includes Adhemar's image, was likely meant to promote his reputation and influence in the region.
