Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aymon ND (1329-1343) Obol coin from the County of Savoy is that it features a unique shield design on its reverse side. The shield is adorned with a cross and fleur-de-lis motifs, which symbolize the county's allegiance to the Kingdom of France and its own distinct identity. This design element sets the coin apart from other contemporary coins issued by neighboring regions, making it a noteworthy piece in the history of numismatics.
