| Additional information |
The William Tyndale Kerk in Vilvoorde occupies a city with an unavoidable claim on Tyndale himself — it was just outside Vilvoorde's castle walls in 1536 that the English reformer and Bible translator was strangled and burned at the stake. A Protestant congregation bearing his name issuing its own token currency in that same city carries weight that no other denomination context could replicate. These church tokens, denominated in "Tynders," circulated internally for congregational use — covering contributions, canteen services, or fundraising events — a practice common among Belgian Protestant communities through the 1980s.
