Comment
This coin imitates the double mite of Brabant and Flanders issued by Philip the GoodInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Brûlé - John of Heinsberg ND (1419-1455) from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Billon weighing 0.54 g is that it features a unique design, with an image of John of Heinsberg, the Prince-Bishop of Liege, on one side, and a cross fleury on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region, with the Prince-Bishopric of Liege facing challenges from neighboring territories and the rise of city-states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege and its influence on the region's history and culture.
