Comment
As part of a monetary union between Flanders and Brabant, the same type was struck in both places (reference below):This coin of Flanders only differs in having the arms of Burgundy on the left obverse, and having Philip's name and title appear first in the obverse legend
Interesting fact
The "Rozebeker" coin was used as a means of payment for the workers who built the Rozebeke Castle in West Flanders, Belgium.
