Host Coin of Albert & Isabel, for Brabant under Spain, Vlack 1o Type - 1640 countermark on a 1617 Spanish Patard of Albert & Isabel for Brabant (Spanish Netherlands). Fine, the periphery weaker than that grade, the central details stronger, as struck. Only traces of the legends are visible on either side, and just the last digit of the date which is weak but definitely appears to be a 7. Lighter silver color, the obverse with a mottled hue, the reverse more uniform, save for the area of the countermark on that side which has a greenish hue. Holed at the left side, and with a small piece out of the planchet at the lower right. Not the prettiest countermarked example, but this is far more typical an appearance for this type, the three lots above exceptional in their quality.
