Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Rudolph of Zaeringen, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1167 to 1191. This was a time of significant political and religious change in the region, and the coin may have been used to help finance the construction of the Liege Cathedral, which was built during this period.
