Comment
The golden pavilion is a very fine example of Gothic coinage art. The theme of the pavilion is also known to have been adapted to the seal of majesty of King Philip VI. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pavillon d'or - Philippe VI de Valois ND (1339) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Philippe VI, who ruled from 1328 to 1350, and its minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency in the country. The coin's design, which features a gold crown on one side and the king's name and title on the other, reflects the influence of the French monarchy and the importance of gold as a symbol of wealth and power. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
