Interesting fact
The Brûlé - John of Hornes 1494 coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishop of Liege, John of Hornes, who ruled from 1482 to 1505. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the Prince-bishopric, signifying the union between the two entities. This coin is a rare example of a coin that highlights the power-sharing agreement between the religious and secular leaders of the time.
