Comments

The Breda city arms obverse distinguishes this coin from the more common Brabant liard of Philip (see link).

During the struggle for Dutch independence, the city of Breda exchanged hands several times, until the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia finalized its inclusion in the Dutch Republic.
From 1625-1637 it was under Spanish control.
