From Wikipedia:
"The Siege of Breda of 1624-25 occurred during the Eighty Years' War. The siege resulted in Breda, a Dutch fortified city, falling into the control of the Army of Flanders. Following the orders of Ambrogio Spinola, Philip IV's army laid siege to Breda in August 1624. The siege was contrary to the wishes of Philip IV. The city was heavily fortified and defended by a garrison of 7,000 men. Spinola rapidly blocked its defences and prevented a Dutch relief army under the leadership of Maurice of Nassau from blocking access to his supplies. In February 1625, a second relief force, consisting of 7,000 Englishmen under the leadership of Horace Vere and Ernst von Mansfeld, was also driven off by Spinola. After a costly eleven-month siege, Justin of Nassau surrendered Breda in June 1625. Only 3,500 Dutchmen and fewer than 600 Englishmen had survived the siege. The Siege of Breda is considered Spinola's greatest success and one of Spain's last major victories in the Eighty Years' War."


From what I understand, 240,000 of these coins were minted at Antwerp solely for distribution in Breda. The arms of the city were added to the three arms already present (Burgundy, Brabant, & crowned vuurijzer). These arms are visible below the other three, and consist of two Xs above a third.

Thank you!

With a little bit of time, and a small amount of effort, I minght be able to get us through the rest of the 1600s (provided that my list is current, that is).
