Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Parisis coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip IV of France, also known as Philip the Fair, who was known for his efforts to consolidate his power and centralize the French government. This coin, minted in the early 14th century, reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in France during that time.
