Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Brûlé - Louis of Bourbon ND (1478-1479) coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishop of Liege, Jean de Bourbon, on the reverse side. This shield is located below the main image of Louis of Bourbon, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, highlighting the connection between the church and the ruling powers of the time.
