Comment
The abbey minted coins from the beginning of the 11th century, imitating the deniers of Cologne (Dan. 1826). This issue is later and probably posterior to the Dan. 279, dated before 1080 because of its presence in the Maastricht III find.Interesting fact
The Sint-Truiden Abbey ND (1100-1125) coin from Abbey Saint Trudo (Belgian States) is notable for its unique design, featuring a rare depiction of a double-headed eagle on its reverse side. This symbol was commonly associated with the Holy Roman Empire and represents the unity of the church and state. The coin's silver content and minimal weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in medieval currency.
