Comment
Type part of the first issue of Marie-Thérèse, struck at the Brussels mint.The mintage is not known since the manufacturing accounts of Brussels no longer exist.
It is amazing to see that all catalog authors note a weight of 3.63 g.
The weight of this piece varies greatly, it is possible to find copies weighing less than 3 grams and others almost 4 grams.
A variant of the legend listed by Probst,
Weiller, Bernays and Vannerus do not mention variants:

b. M•T•D•G•R•JMP•G•H•B•REG•A•A•LUX• (L246-2)
