Comments

This sterling/esterlin is reduced in value to 1/4 groot compared to those issued earlier in the reign of John II.

This type was also minted at Leuven. Reverse legend is +MO nET ALO VAn, and a rosette or an annelet is substituted for one of the trefoils in the angles of the cross. Witte 279
