| Additional information |
Jacqueline of Bavaria — not to be confused with a simple Brabantine heiress — was simultaneously Countess of Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland during one of the most contested successions in Low Countries history. Her marriage to John IV of Brabant was politically engineered by her father to consolidate the region, but the union collapsed badly, dragging both counties into years of factional warfare between the Hoeks and Kabeljauws. Coinage struck jointly in their names during this window is rare precisely because administrative continuity was so thoroughly disrupted.
The billon alloy reflects chronic silver shortages across the Low Countries in the early fifteenth century.
