Yeah, I was a bad boy and now awaiting a well-deserved spanking. I'm a couple of time zones west of normal, and thought I might not get around to posting yesterday.

Here is another Brabant 2 patards/stuivers / double briquet for 1477. It's fun that 3 out of 4 digits in the date (11:00 reverse) do not look like their modern versions!

Very nice @tdz. Rather than post mine from Antwerp, here is instead a Groschen from Cleve (Levinson I-137):

That Cleves coin is a real beauty, and I assume not so common?

Last year of briquets ... This series was introduced by Charles the Bold of Burgundy in 1474.
Here is a 1474 stuiver / briquet of Flanders:
