Help wanted with a Spanish Netherlands coin [解決]

7 posts • 126回閲覧

Hello,

 

Bought a coin labeled as Spanish Netherlands, Brabant:

  

20 mm, 1,19 g

 

But when searching on Numista, there's a catch, three very similar coins, but each one under a different issuer.

- N#107822 ;

- N#375763 ;

- N#120395 

 

So, to put my coin under the right page, I need someone with experience on Spanish Netherlands.

Apparently the lettering matches with the Guelders one, but better ask for confirmation, don't know if there are more variants.

 

Thanks.

Just a bump since the thread fell to page 2.

After the word REX we see the cross of Gueldres.

After the word REX we see the cross of Gueldres.

That's interesting.

And the cross is at the part of the coin that can't be seen at the specimen on the catalog page.

 

Could have added the coin as Guelders already, but I wanted a second opinion due to the worn out part between HISP and (RE)X.

 Guelders it is >

@Giobruno can you please submit your photos in a Modification Request?  They are much better than what we have, and quite good for this type.
