Interesting fact
The Liard - Louis XI ND (1467) coin from France has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when France was facing economic difficulties, and the use of billon (a mixture of silver and copper) was a way to reduce the amount of silver used in coinage while still maintaining the value of the coin. This coin, despite being made of a lower percentage of silver than previous coins, still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
