| Additional information |
Philip of Saint-Pol ruled Brabant for barely three years, from 1430 until his death in August 1431 — one of the shortest reigns in the duchy's history. He died childless, triggering a succession crisis that ended with Brabant passing to Philip the Good of Burgundy, effectively folding the duchy into the expanding Burgundian Netherlands. The mite, a low-denomination copper struck for everyday petty transactions, would have circulated heavily through markets and toll points across Brabant during this turbulent transition.
Witte 464 is among the rarer struck types attributable to his brief rule.
