This specimen was lot 1104 in Jean Elsen sale 147 (Brussels, June 2021), where it sold for €360 (about US$526 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''BREDA, belegerd door de Spanjaarden (juli 1624 - 5 juli 1625), Cu 2 stuiver, emissie voorjaar 1625. Vz/ ·II·/ BREDA/ OBSESSA/ 16 - stadswapen - 25. Zeer Fraai à Prachtig.'' (city of Breda, besieged by the Spanish (July 1624-July 1625), copper double stuiver, minted January 1625. Obverse: city arms. Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"</blockquote> As a key stronghold on the border between [[Netherlands, Spanish|Brabant]] and [[Netherlands, Holland|Holland]], Breda was heavily involved in the Eighty Years War between the Dutch and the Spanish. Held by the Dutch, it was captured by the Spanish in 1581, retaken by the Dutch in 1590, besieged and captured by the Spanish in 1624-25 (resulting in the uniface siege coinage shown here) and retaken by the Dutch in 1637. The Spanish formally ceded it by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, and it was part of the United Provinces until the arrival of French Revolutionary armies in 1792.
