Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hardi - Charles VIII (1st issue) ND (1483) coin from France is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the royal coat of arms on the reverse side, which was a new addition to the coin's design during Charles VIII's reign. This shield was meant to symbolize the king's power and authority, and it became a distinctive feature of French coins during this period.
