Le monnayage d'argent des Etats de Brabant consistait en écus, demi-écus et pièces de 5 sols, appelés "Robustus" d'après la fin de leur légende. Le type choisi pour l'écu et le demi-écu est d'une finesse de gravure remarquable. (The silver coinage of the States of Brabant comprised écus, half écus and five sol pieces, called "Robustus" after the obverse legend. The design chosen for the écu and half écu shows remarkable quality of engraving.)"
