Comment
Chestret 187Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John of Aps, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1229 to 1238. This was a time of significant political and economic change in the region, as the Prince-Bishopric of Liege was seeking to assert its independence from the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's silver content and unique design also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
