AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS. 3 Florins, 1790. Brussels Mint. NGC MS-61.
KM-50; Dav-1285. A strong Mint State example of a popular one-year type crown issued during the Brabant Revolution in 1790. Just a very small hint of toning along the rims of the coin is noted, with fields that are relatively lustrous. This coin highlights the revolutionaries' struggle against Hapsburg rule in the Low Countries, taking inspiration from the American and French revolutions--as evidenced by the cry of "Libertas" on the shield of the Belgian lion.
Ex: Barquera Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
