Interesting fact
The Florin coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Duchy of Brabant, which was part of the Belgian States. The coin was minted during the reign of Philip I of Saint-Pol, who was the Duke of Brabant from 1420 to 1422. This was a time of political and economic upheaval in the region, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this period. Despite its rarity, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of the Duchy of Brabant during a time of great change.
