Comment
Elsen places this issue circa 1040.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 1035 to 1045. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier that was produced during his reign, and it features a bust of Albert II on the obverse side. The coin's design and mintage can provide valuable insights into the economic and political conditions of the County of Namur during this time period.
