Comment
Use of the Krause online catalogs for this type are problematic because:
- KM#53.1 is listed as Antwerp mint (Numismaster), but the NGC version shows a picture of a coin from the Brussels mint.
- KM#53.2 is listed as Maastricht mint (Numismaster) but there is no photo on either website.
- KM#53.3 is listed as Brabant mint rather than Brussels (Numismaster) and the NGC version shows a photo having nothing to do with this coin.
Correspondence of mints and catalog references:
Antwerp - KM#53.1, G.H. 329-1, Witte 1007
Maastricht - KM#53.2, G.H. 329-2, Witte 1033
Brussels - KM#53.3, G.H. 329-3, Witte 1026
For the following dates/mints, Krause and Van Gelder & Hoc differ:
Brussels KM#53.3 - 1628 is in KM but not G.H. 1646 and 1656 are in G.H. but not KM.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Patagon - Philip IV 1621-1665 from Spanish Netherlands (Duchy of Brabant, Belgian States) made of Silver (.875) weighing 28.1 g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This coin was likely used to finance military campaigns and other expenses related to the war effort. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it.
