Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Groat coin from the Duchy of Brabant is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to represent the Christian faith and was a common feature on coins during the medieval period.
