Comment
Lucas, Hainaut 179Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of political turmoil in the region. Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut, was involved in a succession crisis with her uncle, John IV of Brabant, who was also her husband. This coin was minted during their joint reign, which lasted from 1418 to 1427. Despite the political tensions, the coin still bears both of their names and titles, reflecting the complex power dynamics at play during that time.
