Comment
Boudeau (#2356) attributes this coin to Jean II (1294-1312)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John III, who was also known as John the Triumphant, and was a member of the House of Luxembourg. He was the Duke of Brabant, Lothier, and Limburg, as well as the Count of Flanders, Hainaut, and Holland. This coin, which features a castle on one side and a crowned shield on the other, was likely used for everyday transactions and would have been a common sight in the Duchy of Brabant during the 14th century.
