This specimen was lot 1224 in Jean Elsen sale 162 (Brussels, June 2025), where it sold for €10,000 (about US$13,860 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''VLAANDEREN, Graafschap, Oudenaarde belegerd door de Spanjaarden, groot, emissie 30 mei 1582. Eenzijdig. Op vierkante tinnen plaatje. Vz/ Klop met stadswapen. Uiterst zeldzaam.'' ([[Netherlands, Spanish|county of Flanders]], Oudenaard besieged by the Spanish, groat of May 30, 1592, uniface. Struck on a square pewter planchet. Obverse: city arms. Extremely rare, extremely Fine.)"</blockquote> Wikipedia comments, <blockquote>"''Het Beleg van Oudenaarde, was tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog een belegering op de stad Oudenaarde gelegen in graafschap Vlaanderen (destijds onderdeel van de Habsburgse Nederlanden) vanaf 19 april 1582, door Parma. Ondanks hevig verzet tegen de inname bleken de Staatsen niet in staat om Oudenaarde een ontzet aan te bieden, waarna de stad op 5 juli bij verdrag weer overging in Spaanse handen.'' (The Siege of Oudenaarde was a siege of the city of Oudenaarde located in the County of Flanders (at that time part of the Habsburg Netherlands) from 19 April 1582, by the duke of Parma during the Eighty Years' War. Despite fierce resistance, the Dutch were unable to relieve Oudenaarde, after which the city was returned to Spanish hands by treaty on 5 July.)"</blockquote> Parma promised amnesty to the the Protestant families in the city but most chose to leave, causing the collapse of the Oudenaarde carpet weaving industry.
