Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Mite - Joanna and Wenceslas ND (1355-1383) from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Billon weighing 1.0 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Joanna and Wenceslas, who were the rulers of the Duchy of Brabant, a region that is now part of modern-day Belgium. This coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce during a period of significant economic growth and development in the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political conditions of the time.
