Comment
This coin can be differentiated from the drielander of Duke John IV (see link) by the legends.Interesting fact
The coin's design features a unique combination of three crowned heads on one side, representing the three states of Brabant, Flanders, and Hainault, which were united under a single ruler, Philip I of Saint-Pol.
