Very interesting post!
I learnt more by reading your post about the revolution of 1790, than i did in all of the 10 years that i lived in Belgium.
I ask myself whether this episode had any repercusions in the current divisions between the Wallons (french speaking belgians), and the Flemish, dutch speaking.
By the way, these coins are VERY highly coveted in belgium. There is also, if i remember correctly, a larger denomination to this coin with a lion on the obverse, and the shields of the provinces on the reverse.
Once again, thanks for this intersting read.
