This 15th century seal, dating from 1480, was likely used by Hippolyte Terrax, the mint master of the Duchy of Brabant. The seal is small, with a diameter of only 2.4 cm and weighing a mere 5.37 grams. Despite its size, it is intricately detailed, featuring the inscription "YPOL TERRAX" along with the year 1480. The inscription and the seal's function as a means of authentication are indicators of the importance of official seals in medieval society.
