Large Agnel - William V of Bavaria

William V ruled Holland from 1350 until his mental incapacity became undeniable, at which point his brother Albert of Bavaria assumed administration of the county in 1358 — yet William retained his title until death in 1389. Coins struck in his name therefore span a regency of sorts, with effective monetary policy controlled by Albert while William's name remained on the dies.

The agnel type itself derived from French royal coinage, adopted by Low Countries lords as a deliberate assertion of equivalence with Valois prestige. Holland's version circulated alongside Flemish and Brabantine issues in a region where cross-border trade made denominational compatibility a practical necessity rather than a political gesture.
