Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Denier coin from County of Vienne (Dauphiné) is that it was issued during the reign of King Guillaume VIII de Vienne, who was also known as Guillaume III de Dauphiné. He ruled the Dauphiné region in southeastern France from 1319 to 1333, and this coin was minted during his reign. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins of that time period.
