Comment
In Liège the brûlé coins were copper coins mixed with silver, but were later on (as of 1565), only produced in copper. Other nearby states reproduced these coin in the same fashion to falsely increase their value.
Interesting fact
The Brûlé - John of Hoorne ND (1484-1505) coin from Horn (Dutch States) is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of John of Hoorne, the Bishop of Utrecht, on one side, and a depiction of the Horn town coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in the region, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics at play during this period.
