The building on the reverse is the church of Saint Servatius, in MaastrichtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Guilder "Saint Servais" - Joanna ND (1377) from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Gold weighing 3.49 g is that it features an image of Saint Servais, the patron saint of the city of Brussels, on one side, and a depiction of Joanna, Duchess of Brabant, on the other side. This coin was minted during Joanna's reign (1377) and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
