Comment
The Lords of Rummen copied the coins of neighboring states, in this case the French franc a cheval of John II first struck in late 1360Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Franc a Cheval" coin is that it features a unique design of a knight on horseback, which was a symbol of power and prestige during the medieval period. The coin's design has been well-preserved over the centuries, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
