Comment
This coin imitates the baudekin of the County of Hainaut (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Baudekin - John of Arzilières ND (1309-1320) coin from the Bishopric of Toul (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during John of Arzilières' episcopacy.
