Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Groschen Florette - John V (Vannes) 1417-1419 (1417-1422) coin from Duchy of Brittany (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small flower, known as a "fleurette," located on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This florette is said to have been added to the coin's design by the mint master, John V, as a way to signify the coin's authenticity and to distinguish it from other coins in circulation. This feature has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
