Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Silver Provencal Coronat coin is that it was minted 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 history of the County of Provence and the surrounding regions, and his reign had a lasting impact on the political and economic landscape of the area. The coin's design and mintage reflect the influence of the Angevin dynasty, which ruled over a large part of southern France and Italy during this time.
