Comments

The monetary type of the white with the crown was created under Charles VII, on January 28, 1436. These coins underwent several changes of title and weight. Louis XI fixed their title at 359 thousandths and their theoretical weight at 2,846 g. These characteristics will be taken again under his successor Charles VIII then by Louis XII.Automatically translated
