1⁄12 Plaque - Jean the Blind Convention Luxembourg-Bar

Undated, currency issued by the monetary Union Luxembourg-Bar, struck at the mint of Damvillers. The issue period can be determined between March 9, 1343, the date on which the agreement was concluded and the date of the death of Count Henry IV on December 24, 1344.

Bernays and Vannerus give the correct description of the reverse, Weiller made a small mistake by mentioning a cross and four stars. Aberration recopied stupidly by Probst in 2003. The catalogue des monnaies luxembourgeoises et de celles des fiefs de 1026 à 1968 (catalog of the Luxembourgish and feudal currencies from 1026 to 1968) published by the numismatic circle of the G-D of Luxembourg in 1970 gave the correct description (n° 117, p. 42).

The few known copies have an average weight of 0.86 g. The extreme weights listed by Weiller were 0.81 and 0.91 g.
