Filips de Schone, hertog van Bourgondie 1496 - 1508

This small, copper coin, created sometime between 1496 and 1508, depicts Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy, a powerful figure in 15th-century Europe. The obverse features a profile portrait of the Duke with his coat of arms, while the reverse displays his initials, "P" for Philip, and "V" for "Vlaanderen" (Flanders), alongside the inscription "PHILIPPUS DEI GRATIA DUX BURGUNDIE," a Latin inscription designating him as Duke by the Grace of God. The coin's small size and weight indicate its use as a form of currency during Philip's reign.
