| Additional information |
Philip the Handsome was four years old in 1482 when his mother Mary of Burgundy died after a riding accident, leaving Flanders nominally under Hapsburg control but practically governed by the Estates General through a regency council. The regency period saw the county's minting authorities operating with unusual autonomy — coinage decisions during these years reflected local political concessions rather than imperial direction.
GH#61-5 places this issue within a tight cluster of regency-period types struck before Philip assumed personal rule in 1494.
