| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a large crowned Gothic double-M monogram — the cipher of Mary (Maria) of Burgundy — rendered in bold relief and occupying most of the flan. The monogram is surrounded by a beaded inner circle, with a circular legend in uncial Latin characters reading MARIA DVCISS BG BR Z LI (Marie, Duchess of Brabant and Limburg) running along the outer border. The hammered flan is irregular in shape, typical of late-medieval billon coinage of the Low Countries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mary of Burgundy's reign over the Low Countries was defined almost entirely by crisis. Following the death of Charles the Bold at Nancy in 1477, she was forced to issue the Groot Privilege to the Flemish and Brabantine estates, surrendering powers her father had spent decades consolidating. The minting of small billon issues like this one was itself subject to those newly reasserted municipal and ducal privileges — local estates had regained meaningful say over coinage policy.
Mary died in March 1482 from injuries sustained in a riding accident, cutting short a reign of barely five years. This piece falls at the very end of that window.
