Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Noble coin from the Lordship of Megen is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Brimeu, which was the noble family that ruled the region at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "MARIA VAN BRIMEU" (Mary of Brimeu). This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
