Comment
De Witte dates this coin from 1204 when Maastricht lost its status as an imperial mint, and feels the style is suggestive of minting there as wellInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry I ND (1204-1210) from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 0.81 g is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I, who was also known as Henry the Child, and was the son of King Baldwin IX of Flanders. Despite being only 12 years old when he ascended to the throne, Henry I was able to maintain peace in the region and strengthen trade relationships with neighboring countries. This coin is a testament to his leadership and the economic prosperity of the Duchy of Brabant during his reign.
