Comment
A similar type was struck for Flanders and Brabant (references below). They can be differentiated by the last words of the obverse legend which tell which place the coin was struckInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Stivers "Vuurijzer" coin is that it features an image of Mary of Burgundy, who was the daughter of Charles the Bold and the last ruler of the Burgundian Netherlands before the region was annexed by the Habsburgs.
