Chestret 124.
Jean Elsen suggests a date around 1173 for this coin, which is believed to depict the Collegial church of Notre Dame in Huy.
This coin can be distinguished from Dengis 369 / Chestret 126 which also has a church reverse, by the asymmetry of the three parts of the facade (Ch. 126 has identical towers with a dome between).
