Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Royal coin featuring Jean the Blind is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting coincided with the beginning of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and the Black Death, which ravaged Europe during the same period. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a popular form of currency among merchants and traders, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of the Luxembourgish economy during this time.
