Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Gerhard III, who was a powerful and influential ruler in the Dutch States during the 13th century. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the economy and infrastructure of the region. The coin's design, featuring a vertical shield, is a reflection of the coat of arms of the Duchy of Guelders, which was a prominent region in the Dutch States at the time.
