Comment
In the earlier type, Saint Adnrew's head is turned right and the reverse legend is slightly different (see link)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Guilder "Burgundian" - Charles the Bold (Second type) ND (1474-1477) from Burgundian Netherlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) made of Gold weighing 3.4 g is that it features an image of Charles the Bold, who was the Duke of Burgundy from 1467 to 1477. He was known for his ambitious projects and military campaigns, and his coinage reflects his efforts to promote his power and influence. The coin's design includes a portrait of Charles the Bold on one side and a shield with the Burgundian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of medieval coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
