Comment
Chestret 95Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry of Leez, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1145 to 1164. This was a time of significant political and religious upheaval in Europe, and the coin's minting reflects the complex power dynamics at play in the region during this period.
