Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double anonymous design, with both the Duke (DVX) and Count (COMES) depicted on the same side of the coin, while the reverse side features the Burgundy Cross (BVRGO). This design was used during the reign of Philip the Good (1419-1482) and was meant to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two ruling powers in the Duchy of Burgundy.
