Interesting fact

The ½ Groat coin from County of Hainaut (French States) made of Silver weighing 1.0 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Albert of Bavaria (1389-1404), who was a powerful king and a member of the House of Wittelsbach, a prominent royal family in Europe. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during his reign, and its small denomination makes it an interesting collector's item for numismatists.
