| Additional information |
William VI's half-groat issues from 1411 fall within a period of intense monetary competition among the Low Countries counties, each adjusting fineness and weight to undercut neighbors' currencies in trade circulation. Holland's coinage at this point was heavily influenced by pressure from Burgundian territorial expansion, which was already reshaping the monetary politics of the region well before Philip the Good formally absorbed the county in 1428.
The vdCh 6#8.6 reference places this within Chevalier's tightly subdivided typology for William's issues — minor die distinctions within this group are catalogued but rarely discussed in auction literature.
