Interesting fact

The coin , the Brûlé, is a rare and interesting coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege, which is now a part of Belgium. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1389 to 1418. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and it's a valuable addition to any coin collection.
