Fineness under Louis IX
That coin of 1266 illustrated at the top of the article seems to be the wrong color for gold. I'm wondering if it might have a low fineness, something like 10-karat gold. The article does not say (it only mentions fineness in a later century) and I haven't found an Internet source that does. --174.89.48.182 (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
