One interesting fact about the ½ Rider coin from the Duchy of Brabant is that it features a unique design element - a small knight on horseback, which is why it's called the "Rider" coin. This design was introduced by Philip the Good, Duke of Brabant, as a way to showcase his power and influence in the region. The coin was minted from 1434 to 1437 and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
