Comment
A gigot (French) or duit (Dutch) was a small copper and low value coin that was issued in the Spanish Netherlands. Two Gigot are worth a Liard and 8 are worth a Patard (French) or Stuiver (Dutch)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Duit coin from Spanish Netherlands (County of Flanders, Belgian States) made of Copper weighing 1.91g is that it features a unique design, with an image of Charles II on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Flanders on the other. This design was used during Charles II's reign (1665-1700) and was meant to symbolize the unity between the Spanish Netherlands and the House of Habsburg.
