Comment
Elsen places this issue around 1050 in Albert's reign.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Albert II, who was the Count of Namur from 1045 to 1055. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier that was produced during his reign, and it features a bust of Albert II facing forward, which was a unique design for coins during that time period.
