Florin 'Saint Philip'- Philip the Handsome 3d type

Philip the Handsome's administration of the Low Countries operated under persistent financial strain from his Castilian ambitions and the costs of maintaining his claim to the Spanish throne through Isabella. The florin series bearing his name cycled through design revisions partly in response to debasement pressures across the Burgundian monetary system — the .663 fineness of this third type reflects a gradual erosion from the purer Burgundian gold standards of the preceding generation.

Philip died in 1506 at twenty-eight, cutting this type's production window to roughly six years. The multiple Witte references indicate known die distinctions within the type.
