Jean Elsen sale 158, lot 792

This specimen was lot 792 in Jean Elsen sale 158 (Brussels, March 2024), where it sold for €200 (about US$260 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"TOURNAI, Seigneurie, Philippe II (1555-1598), restauré, AR demi-écu Philippe, 1590. D/ B. cuirassé à g. R/ Ecu couronné avec écusson de Portugal sur le tout, sur une croix de Bourgogne, entre deux briquets, portant le bijou de la Toison d'or. Patine inégale. Très Beau à Superbe. (lordship of Tournai, Philip II, 1555-98, half écu Philippe of 1590. Obverse: armored bust left; reverse: crowned arms with the escutcheon of Portugal over a Burgundian cross between two firesteels bearing the jewels of the Golden Fleece. Unevenly toned, Very Fine - Extremely Fine.)"

By 1586, the revolt of the southern provinces had been crushed. The Spanish rulers, among other things, restored the old écu Philippe and its fractions and struck them to the end of the reign. By this time, king Philip had added Portugal to his domain, so that shield was added to the arms.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver; this specimen 16,92 g.

Catalog reference: G.H. 211-14c; Delm-77; Hoc 270; VH 364.
