Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gros Tournois coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Prince-bishopric of Liege, which was a small state in what is now Belgium, during the 14th century. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and are still highly sought after by collectors today.
