| Additional information |
William IV ruled Hainaut during one of the most administratively fractured periods in the county's history — he was simultaneously count of Holland, Zeeland, and Hainaut, territories he inherited in 1404 and struggled to hold against persistent baronial resistance and the ambitions of neighboring Burgundy. His coinage reflects that instability: multiple denominations were struck across different mints with inconsistent standards, and the supplement classification of this piece in the reference sequence suggests it was identified and catalogued well after the primary corpus was established.
