Help with Flanders copper coin [解決]

7 posts • 135回閲覧

Could someone help with identification of this coin? I have not been able to find it referenced anywhere or any image of this coin in Google. 

 

 

I read the lettering as DG REX HISP CO F, which I believe makes it Spanish Netherlands, County of Flanders.  1.66g , 19 mm

I would guess an undated Courte of Philip II , but I cannot read the name. 

 

Thank you ! 

 Cannot see the D though no doubt it should be there, and REX is moved. 

DG REX HISP CO F > G HISP REX CO F > PHS D G HISP REX CO FL 

 Assuming the right-facing crowned portrait is Philip. Still looking …

 A small picture, number 4 in the middle, but looks like yours … 

 

 On page 33/50 http://www.numisbel.be/1925_1.pdf 

 

 That is Plate II near the end of 

Revue Belge de Numismatique, 1925 

and shows 

Flandre, Philippe II (1555-1577)

 Then to go with that picture is the description, earlier on page 17/50 >

Thank you, this is very helpful. I think Numista catalog does not have the Flandres Corte Noir ( this is very similar, but the titles are for Brabant)  N#107822 ) . 

 

Do I undenrestand correctly that it was minted 1559-1562 ?

The full attribution is G.H. 229-7b var, undated korte (courte), struck in Bruges 1560-1562.

 

There is an earlier subtype, 229-7a struck 1558-1560 which has HISP AN Z REX in Philip's titles, for his reign as King of England.

 

Yours has HISP REX CO F which is the later subtype.  

Thank you very much !
