The coins with mintmarks hand, lilly and star are minted in Antwerp, Flanders(Bruges) and Maastricht. For Gelderland there is the mintmark cross.</p><p>There exists contemporary forgeries which look quite different.</p><p><br /></p><p>The writer of the note about the coin which is depicted there has his doubts of the depicted coin being genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
