Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Patard / Stiver "Briquet" - Mary of Burgundy 1477-1481 from Duchy of Brabant (Belgian States) made of Billon (.399 silver) weighing 3.06 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Mary of Burgundy, who was the daughter of Charles the Bold and the last ruler of the Burgundian dynasty. At the time, the Duchy of Brabant was part of the Burgundian Netherlands, which was a collection of territories ruled by the House of Burgundy. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and political influence of the region, and it features an image of Mary of Burgundy on one side and the Brabant coat of arms on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
