Interesting fact

The Sterling - John I (Daelem) coin from the Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coinage of this period was heavily influenced by the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that spanned across Northern Europe. As a result, the Sterling coin features a unique blend of Flemish and Hanseatic design elements, making it a fascinating example of medieval coinage.
