Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Patard / Stiver "Briquet" - Charles the Bold 1474-1476 from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Billon (.400 silver) weighing 3.06 g is that it was minted during the reign of Charles the Bold, who was the last Duke of Burgundy and ruled from 1467 to 1477. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features an image of Charles the Bold on one side and a shield with the coat of arms of Brabant on the other. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable than pure silver and helped to prevent counterfeiting.
