Comment
This Sterling imitates the pennies of Edward I and Edward II of England (example below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Bishopric of Toul, which was a significant center of trade and commerce during the Middle Ages. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European currency.
