Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Duchy of Burgundy. The coin's minting period, 1347-1349, coincided with the height of the Black Death, a pandemic that had a profound impact on the population and economy of Europe. Despite this, the coin's production and circulation continued, indicating the resilience and adaptability of the people and economy of the time.
