Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Mites coin from County of Namur (Belgian States) made of Copper weighing 1.5g is that it was issued during the reign of William I, who was also known as William of Orange. He was a prominent leader in the history of the region and played a significant role in the formation of the Duchy of Brabant. The coin's design likely reflects the influences of the time and the region's cultural heritage.
