Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the County of Flanders. The reign of Arnulf II and Baldwin IV saw significant transformations in the region, including the rise of cities and trade, and the development of a new system of feudalism. Despite these changes, the coinage of the time remained relatively consistent, with the Denier being a standard circulation coin throughout the period.
