Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Denier coin from the Duchy of Lorraine is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who ruled the Duchy of Lorraine from 1390 to 1430. During this period, the Duchy was facing economic challenges due to the Hundred Years' War between England and France, which had disrupted trade and commerce in the region. Despite these challenges, the Double Denier coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region, and its design and minting process were considered advanced for its time.
