Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Obole anonyme ND (1180-1220) from Bishopric of Lodève (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted during the reign of King Louis VIII of France (1187-1223). This cross pattée design was used to distinguish the coins minted by the Bishopric of Lodève from those minted by the French royal mint.
