Delmonte only lists one type. HPM lists two types based on different mint marks. According to HPM one type has three hooks as mint mark, the other type has a Guelders' cross on both sides. Many examples can be found on the internet, but none seems to bear the hooks mint mark. There are two types of crosses identifiable. One could be considered as a Guelders' cross, the other one a more simple diagonal cross. Coins can be found with all combinations of crosses.
