Comment
Emission of 15 May, 1393.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Groat - Albert of Bavaria (Eagle) ND (1393) from County of Holland (Dutch States) made of Silver weighing 2.24 g is that it features an eagle on one side and a shield with the coat of arms of Holland on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Albert II of Bavaria, who was also Count of Holland and Zeeland. The eagle symbolized the power and authority of the Holy Roman Empire, while the shield with the coat of arms represented the local ruling family and their connection to the Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides insight into the political and economic systems of medieval Europe.
