Comment
De Witte feels the use of the heraldic Brabant lion obverse is a good indication the coin was struck in LeuvenInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry I ND (1190-1210) from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 0.72 g is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King Henry I on one side and a cross fleury on the other. This design was used during his reign and symbolized the king's power and influence. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins made of copper or other base metals, reflecting the wealth and prosperity of the Duchy of Brabant during that time.
