Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin featuring Mary of Burgundy is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Duchy of Brabant was part of the Burgundian Netherlands, which was a collection of territories in the Low Countries that were ruled by the House of Burgundy. In the late 15th century, the region was experiencing political instability and economic difficulties, which led to the minting of coins with lower silver content, such as the 2 Mites coin made of Billon (.020 silver). Despite these challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, with an image of Mary of Burgundy on one side and the Brabant coat of arms on the other.
