Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Brabant. The coin was issued during the reign of Henry II and III, who ruled the duchy from 1235 to 1261. During this time, the duchy was facing political and economic challenges, including conflicts with neighboring territories and the impact of the Crusades. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
