Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Noble coin from Burgundian Netherlands is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, with a crown and scepter, while the reverse side features a shield with the Burgundian coat of arms, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and ornaments. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
