Comment
Ghyssens Plate 2, Fig. 4Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Godfrey III ND (1164-1183) from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 0.75 g is that it features an image of Godfrey III, Count of Louvain, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Godfrey's reign as Count of Louvain, which lasted from 1164 to 1183. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage.
