Aanvullende informatie

The 1790 Brabant Revolution — the short-lived Brabantine revolt that briefly expelled Austrian Habsburg authority and declared the United Belgian States — generated an urgent need for independent coinage. The insurgent government struck this type to assert fiscal legitimacy during the interregnum between Joseph II's administration and Leopold II's reconquest, which came before year's end. The rebellion collapsed in December 1790 when Habsburg forces re-entered Brussels essentially unopposed.

The dual denomination — sols for French-speaking provinces, stuivers for Flemish — reflects the awkward political coalition holding the revolt together.
