Description: | This is a hammered silver Double Patard, of Charles the Bold (1467-77) of Flanders and Brabant (present day Belgium). The obverse has the quartered shield of arms and the reverse bears an ornate cross fleury. In this case, the coin is broken with perhaps 2/5ths remaining intact. As a part of a commercial and political pact, these coins were made legal tender in 1469 and circulated as the exact equivalent of a Groat until 1530. Apart from the break, the coin has two small splits and slight clipping to the rim.
