Comment

The 1482 bears different legends on both sides, and uses the face value of the coin in the reverse legend (stiver = patard in French), the first time this has appeared on a Brabant coin:
Obverse: ✠ mOn' ⸰ ARChIDVCV' ⸰ AV'⸰ BVRG' ⸰ BRAB' ⸰ LI' ⸰ Z' ⸰
Reverse: ✠ SImP' ⸰ PATARD' ⸰ FAB'CAT' ⸰ In ⸰ BRA' ⸰ 1482 ("Simple Patard made in Brabant")
