Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Silver Carlin coin is that it was issued during the reign of Robert of Anjou, who was a powerful king and military leader in the 14th century. He played a significant role in the conflicts between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, and his rule had a lasting impact on the history of the region. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Silver Carlin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and history enthusiasts.
