Rummen, Belgium (1355-1474)Comments
Coinage of the Lords of Rummen imitated types of other nearby states, in this case the groat "cromsteert" of Philip the Good of Flanders. The lettering ‘Ph’a' is placed exactly where the lettering ‘Phs’ of such a coin would be. The lettering ‘FALS’ should look like ‘FLAD’ as on the Flanders coins. Since this Rummen coin is of lower value, it was intended to trick people in believing it was a Flanders comsteert.
