Interesting fact
The Double Denier coin from County of Burgundy (French States) made of Copper weighing 2.1 g was minted during the reign of Philip IV of France, also known as Philip the Great, who ruled from 1637 to 1674. This coin was used as a means of payment during his reign and was valued at two deniers, which was a significant amount during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that era. The fact that it was minted during Philip IV's reign makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
