Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grand Blanc coin is that it was minted during the reign of Francis I of France, who was known for his efforts to promote the arts and humanism. The coin's design, which features a crowned shield with the French fleur-de-lis, reflects the king's desire to promote French culture and influence throughout Europe.
