R/ Écu couronné. Rare.'' (county of Bouillon and Sedan, William Robert of the Mark, 1574-88, copper double tournois of 1587, Sedan mint. Obverse: armored bust right; reverse: crowned arms. Rare, Very Fine.)&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt; This type, struck in imitation of a [[France 1587-D double tournois|French double tournois]], is known only with the date 1587. Enough varieties exist that it may have been struck for some time after with a frozen date. The ducal line, suffragan to the [[Austria, Austria-Netherlands|prince-bishop of Liege]], fell extinct in 1671 and the province was annexed to France in 1678. Today, Bouillon is in [[Belgium]] and Sedan is in France.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 2.5 g, copper, 20 mm diameter, this specimen 2,34 g. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' P.A. 6287; De Mey R15; CGKL 556. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Sources:]]''<br /> * van Gelder, H.
