Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gros tournois - Waleran II (Serain) ND (1304-1354) coin from County of Ligny (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a type of cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during the reign of Waleran II. This cross pattée design was used to differentiate the coins minted during his reign from those of his predecessors and successors, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
