Interesting fact

The ⅓ Groat coin from County of Flanders (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Louis I of Nevers (1340-1343), who was also known as Louis of Flanders. He was the Count of Flanders, Nevers, and Rethel, and was a member of the House of Dampierre. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
