Comment
Van der Chijs call this a double groot, but this does not correspond well to other coins in this reign.
Interesting fact
The 1 Groat coin from the County of Loon (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Theoderic ND (1336-1361), which was a time of significant political and economic change in the region. The coin's design and minting process were likely influenced by the political and economic climate of the time, making it a unique piece of history.
