Comment
Mentioned by Grolle 6.1.4.6BInteresting fact
The 1⁄32 kromstaart coin from the Lordship of Bergh (Dutch States) made of Billon is interesting because it was issued during the reign of William II (1416-1465), who was also known as William the Rich. He was a member of the House of Valois-Burgundy and was the Count of Holland, Hainault, and Zeeland, as well as the Duke of Bavaria-Straubing. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions during his rule and is a small, portable piece of history from that time period.
