Interesting fact
The coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. It's interesting to note that the Prince-bishopric of Liege, where the coin was minted, was a unique political entity in the region that is now Belgium, and its currency was used widely in the area during the 14th century.
