Beschrijving keerzijde The crowned lion rampant of Burgundy occupies the center field, depicted in high relief with forelegs raised, rendered in the bold, stylized manner characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the period. The heraldic device represents the arms of the County of Burgundy. A Latin circular legend surrounds the design, citing the joint rulers' titles as dukes and counts of Burgundy, with the date of issue appearing within or alongside the legend.

Aanvullende informatie

Albert and Isabella governed the Spanish Netherlands as a nominally sovereign couple, but their authority over coinage was tightly constrained by Madrid. The double denier was the lowest practical denomination in daily Flemish commerce — the coin that bought bread, not policy. This second type, distinguished from the first by minor die modifications catalogued by Vanhoudt, was struck through the final decade of Albert's rule before his death in 1621 returned the territories to direct Spanish crown control, ending the brief experiment in delegated sovereignty.
