Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Noble coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip the Bold, who was the first Duke of Burgundy and a member of the House of Valois. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to expand the Burgundian territories, which eventually led to the formation of the Habsburg Netherlands. The coin's design, which features Philip the Bold's image, reflects his importance in the history of the region and the significance of the Burgundian dynasty.
