Description: | A double patard of Burgundy, dating to 1469 - 1529 AD. In 1469 these coins were made legal tender in England and remained so for over 60 years afterwards. The Burgundian rulers were seen as friends of the English and this is the main reason that this type of foreign coin was allowed to circulate here. The metal is not quite sterling value, so although they were the same size as an English groat, they may have passed for a little less than four pence.
