2 Mites - Charles V

Charles V was seventeen years old and newly installed as Count of Namur when this issue was struck — still a year away from inheriting Castile, and six from the Imperial election that would define his reign. Namur's coinage at this moment was effectively transitional administrative output from a county that had passed to the Habsburgs only a generation earlier, through Mary of Burgundy's 1477 inheritance.

The billon content here is strikingly low even by the debased standards of small Netherlandish fractional coinage of the period.
