Comment
Levinson II-47Interesting fact
The 1 Groat coin from the Duchy of Brabant, featuring Mary of Burgundy, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was minted in 1480-1481, just a few years before the death of Mary of Burgundy in 1482, and the subsequent marriage of her son, Philip the Handsome, to Joanna of Castile, which would eventually lead to the Habsburg dynasty ruling over the region. This coin is a small, tangible piece of history that represents a significant moment in the political and cultural changes that were taking place in Europe during the late 15th century.
