One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield on the obverse (front) side and a cross on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of Bishop Philip of Burgundy, who ruled the Bishopric of Utrecht from 1500 to 1523. The coin's small weight of 0.50 grams also makes it stand out, as it was not uncommon for coins of this era to be heavier.
