This specimen was lot 738 in Jean Elsen sale 149 (Brussels, December 2021), where it sold for €60 (about US$81 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRABANT, Duché, Philippe le Beau (1482-1506), AR double patard, 1500, Anvers. D/ Ecu couronné d'Autriche-Bourgogne. R/ Croix fleuronnée, un lion en coeur. Double frappe. presque Très Beau. (duchy of Brabant, Philip the Fair, 1482-1506, silver double patard of 1500, Antwerp mint. Obverse: crowned arms of Austria and Burgundy, reverse: floriate cross with a lion at the center. Double struck, about Very Fine.)"
At this time, the Hapsburgs were consolidating their hold on the Low Countries, a process that would not be completed until emperor Charles V obtained the holdings of the bishop of Utrecht in the 1520's. Unfortunately, at the same time, Protestantism was spreading in the Netherlands, ripping apart the Hapsburgs' hoped-for unity.
