2 Mites - Charles V

正面描述	Central field depicts a rampant lion of Namur facing left, rendered in a bold medieval style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. The lion is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend reading MO ARCHIDVCIS AVSTRIE DVC BG CO NA, identifying Charles V as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Namur. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, as typical of hammered billon coinage of this period. The overall design is strongly struck at center though the legend shows partial weakness at the periphery.

附加信息	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.
