| Aanvullende informatie |
Agimont was a minor lordship wedged between the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the County of Namur, and its lords spent much of the late thirteenth century navigating the competing monetary authorities of both neighbors. John II's decision to strike sterlings in the English style reflects the commercial dominance of that denomination across the Low Countries during this period — Flemish, Brabantine, and ecclesiastical mints all produced imitative sterlings for the same reason: English pennies had become the de facto trading coin of the North Sea economy.
Mayhew's classification of this type as #120 places it among the more obscure baronial Low Countries issues, with surviving examples thin on the ground.
