Commentary

Ce gros semble inédit. Il devrait normalement porter au droit le nom du duc Jean III de Brabant (1312-1355) et non pas la légende MONETA ANTVVP (Monnaie d’Anvers) qui se retrouve également au revers. Faut-il la classer à Jean III ?.
This large coin appears to be unprecedented. It should normally bear the name of Duke John III of Brabant (1312-1355) on the obverse, and not the legend MONETA ANTVVP (Mint of Antwerp), which is also found on the reverse. Should it be classified as John III?
