Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Prince-bishopric of Liege was a powerful and influential state in the Belgian States, and the coinage of Henry of Guelders (Maastricht) reflects the economic and political ties between the various regions and states of the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during the period.
