Jean Elsen sale 133, lot 776
Brabant in 1559, from Shepherd's atlas

This specimen was lot 776 in Jean Elsen sale 133 (Brussels, June 2017), where it sold for €280 (about US$370 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"BRABANT, Duché, Philippe IV (1621-1665), AR demi-ducaton, 1662, Bruxelles. Deuxième type. D/ B. dr. et cuir. à d. R/ Ecu couronné, tenu par deux lions. En dessous, le bijou de la Toison d'or. Très Beau. (duchy of Brabant, Philip IV, 1621-65, silver half ducaton of 1662, Brussels mint, second type. Obverse: draped and armored bust to right' reverse: crowned arms supported by two lions, Order of the Golden Fleece around. Very fine.)"

Ducatons were issued in the Spanish Netherlands and associated states (including the bishopric of Liège and Franche Comte) during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, where they competed with French écus, German talers and Dutch daalders and patagons. The half ducaton shown here was struck at the Antwerp and Brussels mints 1637-66. The angel face mintmark indicates a Brussels product. The SCWC prices the Brussels issues about double the Antwerp issue. The series is plagued by bad planchets and poor strikes, reducing their appeal to collectors.
