Comment
After three years of reign, Count, unable to obtain new subsidies, was reduced to selling your county to Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy (1421).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mites Flamand coin from the County of Namur is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued by John III during his reign.
