Interesting fact
The 2 Mites coin from the Duchy of Brabant, issued during the reign of Philip the Good (1435-1437), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the duchy, the coin bears an image of a stork holding a baby in its beak. This design is believed to represent the legend of the "Stork of Brabant," which tells the story of a stork that brought a baby to the city of Brussels in the 14th century. According to the legend, the baby grew up to become a great leader and brought prosperity to the region. This unique design element makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same period and region.
