| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Good inherited Namur through the 1421 purchase from the indebted John III, making this issue one of the earliest coinages struck under Burgundian authority in the county. The "Klinkaart" name derives from the Flemish onomatopoeia for the ringing sound of a gold coin — a colloquial term that stuck commercially even as the formal ecu denomination held elsewhere in Philip's expanding territories.
Namur's mint output under Philip was never large, and production ceased as Burgundian monetary policy increasingly centralized striking in the more established Flemish mints.
