Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Florin - Gaucher Adhemar ND (1346-1360) from Lordship of Montélimar (French States) made of Gold weighing 3.42 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King John II of France, who ruled from 1350 to 1364, and it features an image of the king on horseback, surrounded by the inscription "Iohannes Dei Gratia Francorum Rex" (John, by the grace of God, King of the Franks). This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during a time when the feudal system was still prevalent, and it would have been used by merchants, traders, and other individuals engaged in commerce. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
