| Additional information |
The Brabançon castle type mite circulated across the Low Countries during a period when Namur's counts were caught between the competing pressures of the French crown and the expanding commercial dominance of Brabant. Small copper struck pieces like this one passed through hundreds of hands in daily market transactions — bread, fish, small debts — and survival in any condition above heavily corroded is genuinely uncommon.
