Comment
They are extremely thin pieces, rare are those that are completely intact. Usually get lost at the edgesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Blanc à l'L - Louis of Bourbon ND (1465) coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is that it features a unique design element - the letter "L" appears twice on the coin, once in the obverse (front) side and once in the reverse (back) side, which is a rare feature in coin design.
