Interesting fact
The ½ Groat coin from the Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) minted in 1363 during the reign of Joanna and Wenceslas is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in coinage during that time. The use of silver in this coin reflects the wealth and prosperity of the Duchy of Brabant during the 14th century.
