Comment
Minted 1433-1443 and 1466 -1467, but not possible to differentiate these eras on the coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groat "Vierlander" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip the Good, who was the Duke of Burgundy and Count of Flanders from 1433 to 1467. This coin was used in the Burgundian Netherlands, which is now part of modern-day Belgium.

Its weight of 1.46 grams also makes it a notable piece among coins of its era.
