Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Jean the Blind, minted in the County of Luxembourg between 1309 and 1346, features an unusual image on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a monarch or a coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a blindfolded man, which is believed to represent Jean the Blind himself, who was known to have been blind from a young age. This unique design element has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians.
