This is also from Deventer. I hope to upgrade one day.

 

Belgium
This is the first dated copper/billon coin.

 

Now a days both Deventer and Brabant are considered to be in the Netherlands. I suppose 600 years ago many things like country borders as we know them did not exist or were very different. I collect a lot of coins from the Netherlands and its overseas colonies, so I am therefore quite interested in the history. I love seeing these really old coins you post, thanks! Perhaps I should post my oldest Dutch coin, a 1644 1/2 stuiver. I may have posted it before on here.

 

I apologize. My source has Brabant in the Belgium region. I just
Googled/Wiki and I stand corrected. I was not aware of the shuffling
that had taken place.

I believe that this link will take you to many more Belgium/Netherlands
coins in my collection.

 

Nothing wrong with that. There is a province named Noord-Brabant (Northern Brabant) in the Netherlands, capital is 's-Hertogenbosch. Then you have a province named Vlaams-Brabant (Flemish Brabant) in Belgium, capital Leuven. And there is a province of Brabant wallon (Walloon Brabant) in Belgium, capital Wavre. So a "Brabant" coin can be from today's Netherlands, today's Flemish Belgium or today's Walloon Belgium, depending on the place where it was minted ...
