Comment
Chestret 321Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Petit Brûlé - John of Heinsberg (perron) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Prince-bishopric of Liege. The coin was issued by John of Heinsberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1419 to 1455, during a period of political and religious upheaval in the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Liege.
