The book The Silver Coinage of the Low Countries covers the period from the 16 century until the end of the
Franch period and describes all the types related to the Low Countries.
More than 300 years of silver coinage delivers a precious, artistic and attractive historical document to

been produced in the Low Countries and the Overseas territories over the period from about 1500 until 1815.

Benelux (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg) and some in the northern part of France. On the other
