The coin is a rare and interesting example of a groschen from the Duchy of Brittany, minted during the reign of Charles ND (1341-1364). One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features three lilies, which were a symbol of the French monarchy, indicating the close ties between the Duchy of Brittany and the French crown.
