Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Reinald II van Valkenburg, who was a powerful nobleman in the Belgian States during the 14th century. The coin's design likely reflects the symbolism and imagery of the time, and its copper composition makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European coinage.
