Comments

Catalog references align with the mints as follows:

Antwerp mint (hand mint mark) - KM 64.2, GH 324-1a, Delmonte 167
Brussels mint (head mint mark) - KM 64.1, GH 324-3a, Delmonte 175

There is disagreement between KM and GH on which mints struck each date. The date list includes all, and additionally the 1623 Antwerp wich is listed by neither but has been verified in an auction sale.
