Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in the medieval period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, as it was easier to extract and process than other metals like gold or silver. The use of copper for coinage also made it more accessible to the general population, as it was a more affordable option for everyday transactions. Additionally, the fact that this coin was made in the 14th century and has survived to this day is a testament to the durability of copper as a material for coinage.
