Interesting fact

The coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples existing in collections today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Prince-bishopric of Liege, when the region was facing political and economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin's minting was likely a sign of the region's resilience and determination to maintain its economic and political stability.
