Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry I, also known as Henry the Child, who was the first Duke of Brabant and ruled from 1190 to 1235. Despite his young age, Henry I played a significant role in the political and economic development of the Duchy of Brabant, and his coinage reflects the growth and prosperity of the region during his reign.
