Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Groat coin from Duchy of Brabant is that it features an image of Antoine of Burgundy, who was also known as Antoine de Bourgogne, and was a member of the House of Valois-Burgundy. He was the Duke of Brabant, Lothier, and Limburg from 1406 until his death in 1415. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is a rare and valuable piece for collectors of historical coins.
