Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Albert III, who was the Count of Namur from 1064 to 1075. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier that was produced during his reign, and it features a bust of Albert III on the obverse side. The coin's weight of 0.75 grams and its silver content make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
