Comment
Design is similar to earlier coins of HainautInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County of Flanders, which was a region in present-day Belgium. This shield is placed above the king's head on the obverse side of the coin, signifying the coin's origin and allegiance to the County of Flanders.
