philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 2:18 pm Not Philippe le Bel, or even Philippe le Bon, but Philippe le Beau, Duke of Burgundy 1482-1506, but I believe this was coined for him as Duke of Brabant. Reverse legend reads BENED/ANIMA/MEA D/OMINO. The abbreviated ending of the obverse legend seems to vary for this issue, but this one comes close: http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvi...3f8132ddfcec Edited by philadelphian 12/28/2013 2:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

antwerpen2306 Pillar of the Community Belgium 1194 Posts	Posted 12/29/2013 10:24 am yes it is a coin of Filips de Schone - his name in flemish -,I think also coined for him asDuke of Brabant as indicate the B on the obverse side.I have only a problem with the weight , it is nearer to a groot than to a halve. For the name the Beau/Bel : the two are in use (sie Wikipedia),I learned in the sixties le Bel , but I think theu prefer now the Beau to make the difference with Philippe le Bel of France. So, I finish with my interpretation of the legend Bened... : Benedicta (sit ) anima Philadelphiani Domini . Report this Post to the Staff
