Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Groot - Eleonora ND (1343-1344) coin from Duchy of Guelders (Dutch States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Guelders on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during the reign of Eleanor of Woodstock, the daughter of King Edward II of England and the wife of Duke Reginald II of Guelders.
