Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Patard coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philippe II, also known as Philippe le Beau, who was the Duke of Luxembourg from 1482 until his death in 1506. Philippe II was a member of the House of Luxembourg, a powerful royal family that played a significant role in European politics and history during the Middle Ages. The coin's design, which features an image of Philippe II, serves as a testament to the influence and power of the Luxembourg dynasty during this time period.
