Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Parisis coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope John XXII, who was the second Pope to reside in Avignon, France, rather than in Rome. This period, known as the "Babylonian Captivity," lasted from 1309 to 1377 and had a significant impact on the Catholic Church and European politics. The coin's minting location in the Bishopric of Toul, which was a French state at the time, highlights the close ties between the Church and the French monarchy during this era.
