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 on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from the same era. This cross is believed to have been added as a symbol of the coin's purity and authenticity.
