1/2 Groat - Antoine of Burgundy

Antoine of Burgundy's acquisition of Brabant in 1406 brought him into immediate conflict with the duchy's established monetary system. This half groat was struck during a brief window before his attention — and resources — were consumed by his fatal commitment to the Burgundian cause at Agincourt in 1415, where he died in the rout.

Witte 437 is not a common attribution, and examples circulated hard in a region where small billon denominations did the bulk of everyday commercial work.
