Comment
Imitation of the coinage of Edward I (see example in link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the reign of John of Flanders, who ruled the Lordship of Arleux in the French States. Despite the political instability of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, showcasing the skill of the medieval minting process.
