Interesting fact
The Double Denier coin featuring Philibert of Chalon, minted between 1502 and 1530 in the Principality of Orange (French States), is made of Billon, a metal alloy consisting of copper, silver, and sometimes other metals. This coin's unique composition makes it stand out among other coins of its time, as Billon was not commonly used in coinage during the 16th century.
