Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gros "Florette" coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in France, known as the Hundred Years' War. Despite the conflict, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its design featuring the king's crown and coat of arms became a symbol of French royal authority.
