Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Sols (Siege of Tournai) coin from the City under siege of Tournai (Belgian States) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and conflict. The Siege of Tournai took place in 1709, during the War of the Spanish Succession, and the coin was likely used as a means of currency for the soldiers and civilians who were affected by the conflict. Despite the challenges of minting coins during a time of war, the 2 Sols coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
