Comment
Chestret 207Interesting fact
The coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples existing in collections today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from the same era. This cross pattée is believed to have been added to the coin's design to signify the coin's connection to the Prince-bishopric of Liege, which was a powerful and influential state in the region at the time.
