Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip the Good, who was the Duke of Burgundy and Count of Holland, and it features an image of him on one side and the Burgundian coat of arms on the other. This coin was used in the Burgundian Netherlands, which was a region that included parts of modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver. Additionally, the fact that this coin weighs 0.97 grams and has a diameter of 18-20 mm makes it a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
