Interesting fact
The ½ Groat "Braspenning" coin from Burgundian Netherlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 1.3 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John the Fearless (1409-1416) and features a unique design, including a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Flanders on one side and a cross fleury on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in the region and is now considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists.
