Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Belgian States. The coin was minted during the reign of Baldwin VI, Count of Flanders, who ruled from 1067 to 1070. This was a period of great political and social upheaval, with the Holy Roman Empire struggling for power and control in the region. Despite these challenges, the Abbey Saint Trudo was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this Denier anonymous ND (1070-1080), which is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived during this time.
