| Additional information |
Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, acquired the County of Namur in 1421 by purchasing it from the last count, Jean III, who died childless and cash-poor. This coin belongs to a brief window of early Burgundian administration of the county, before Philip's monetary ordinances of the mid-1430s began standardizing coinage across his expanding Netherlandish territories. The Pieter d'Or takes its name from the apostle Peter, whose feast day held particular liturgical significance in Namur.
Delmonte distinguishes two varieties — G#420 and G#421 — differentiated by minor legend and punctuation details rather than weight or type.
