Interesting fact
The Charles III ND (1387-1390) Groat coin from the Kingdom of Navarre is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles III, who was the king of Navarre from 1387 until his death in 1425. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the Hundred Years' War was taking place between England and France, and the Black Death was sweeping through Europe, leading to significant economic and population disruptions. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Navarre was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as the Groat, which was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed 3.38 grams.
