Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Groschen with lion and shield - John IV ND (1364-1373) from Duchy of Brittany (French States) made of Silver weighing 3.6 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in France. The coin was issued during the reign of John IV, Duke of Brittany, who ruled from 1364 to 1373. During this period, the Duchy of Brittany was facing threats from the English and the French crowns, and the coin may have been used as a means of financing the duchy's military efforts. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design, featuring a lion and shield, symbolized the strength and resilience of the Duchy of Brittany.
