Comment
This coin can be distinguished from the similar contemporary coins of Lordship of Crevecoeur, and County of Hainaut by careful reading of the obverse and reverse legends, which have a different sovereign (obv) and place name (rev).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Groat coin from County of Namur (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is that it was minted during the reign of John II, who was the Count of Namur from 1331 to 1335. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal for currency at the time.
