| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the immediate aftermath of the Pacification of Ghent in 1576, this issue belongs to the short-lived coinage of the rebel States of Brabant during their open confrontation with Spanish Habsburg authority. The "Ecu des Etats" types were authorized by the States-General as part of a broader assertion of fiscal and political independence — minting their own coin was a direct and deliberate act of defiance against Philip II's appointed governors.
The Brabant mint at this moment was operating under extraordinary pressure, supplying coin to fund troops while the Spanish Fury of Antwerp (November 1576) had already devastated the province's financial infrastructure.
