Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Denier coin from the Lordship of Montélimar is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Hugh IV Adhemar, who was a powerful lord in the region of Montélimar. However, the coin was minted during the Hundred Years' War, a prolonged conflict between France and England that lasted from 1337 to 1453. This means that the coin was likely used as a means of exchange during a time of great economic and political upheaval. Despite this, the coin has survived to this day and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
