The type was first minted in Flanders (or perhaps in Brabant) in 1337, in response to the devaluation of silver coins in France earlier that same year. The type was quickly imitated in the regions around Flanders, and was minted (on and off) until 1364. Medieval records tell us that there were 8 "issues" of leeuwengroot in Flanders under count Louis of Male (1346-1384), each with a reduction of either the weight or fineness (silver content) of the coins compared to the previous issue. We have at our disposal numerous coin specimens that show a number of different sets of characteristics, which, in theory, can be "matched up" with the known issues minted in Flanders. In addition to these fairly uniform sets of characteristics, there are a small number of coins showing "anomalous" characteristics that do not match the majority. These anomalous coins remain enigmatic; they are usually partially illegible, and many of them display so many unusual traits that it seems likely that they are not "new sub-types", but rather examples of "deceptive imitations", i.e. medieval counterfeits struck in reasonably good silver and produced with a reasonably high degree of quality and workmanship.

In the following weeks and months, other detector users uncovered more coins in the same field. Up to March, 2017, a total of 107 silver coins were found in the same field. The find contained a dozen or so previously unpublished sub-types.

This is the second in a series of reports on that subject. The leeuwengroot (gros au lion, gros compagnon, socius, gezel) was a (nominally) silver coin, struck in the 14 th century in Western Europe, in particular, in the Low Countries. The type was first minted in Flanders (or perhaps in Brabant) in 1337, in response to the devaluation of silver coins in France earlier that same year. The type was quickly imitated in the regions around Flanders, sometimes as a "coin of convention" mandated by agreements between these regions. leeuwengroot of Flanders Louis of Nevers (1322-1346) Elsen 132-523 / 3.46 g. shown actual size Minting of this type ended in Flanders in 1364, and the imitations in other regions ceased as well. Minting of the plak series of lion-with-helm coins began in 1365 in Flanders, and was widely imitated in other places as the leeuwengroot had been before it. A short resurgence of leeuwengroten occurred in Brabant 1381-1383, with a few imitations in small regions such as Megen and Batenburg. Our interest therefore lies in medieval records dating c. 1337-c. 1364, while also keeping an eye out for records from c. 1381-1383 (especially those from Brabant).

No complete record was ever made of these coins. The find was originally dubbed the “Ghent Hoard”, but has since been changed to the “Malines Hoard”. The find contained a large number of silver leeuwengroten from a number of regions, as well as significant number of grand blanc, the ½ groot coin that was the primary silver coin in Flanders before 1337, when minting of the leeuwengroot began. Imitations of these coins from a number of regions were also present in the Malines Hoard, along with Flemsih vieux gros and Ghent Groten.

Most of the coins were received by the Koninklijk Penningkabinet (KPK) as a donation from the hoard owners after the find was made [2]. 5 more were purchased for the DNB collection at the 1960 Schulman auction (ref. 3) [2] , and a final coin was donated by Cees van Hengel [4]. The KPK collection, which was housed in Het Geldmuseum in Utrecht before it closed, is now in the care of DNB, which also has its own, separate collection. The Dutch National Numismatic Collection is also in the care of DNB (NNC-DNB). Because DNB is currently managing all of the coins (so to speak), they provide us with information and photographs, and at this point, we tend to speak of the coins as being " DNB coins " , regardless of their actual, legal ownership. The inventory numbers will give the reader some clue as to the legal owners of specific coins. Included in the 83 DNB coins from the Zutphen Hoard are 1 leeuwengroot from Flanders (Louis of Mâle), and 1 leeuwengroot and one ½ leeuwengroot of Brabant (Joanna and Wenceslas), all of which were part of the original donation, and all of which are of interest to authors Torongo and van Oosterhout. Adjustments to Our Original Report Because of the new information about the Zutphen Hoard coins in the DNB collection, the following adjustments must be made to our original report on the Hoard [2] : p. 1 226 Flanders leeuwengroten [67 whereabouts unknown = 29.6 %] 5 Brabant leeuwengroten [4 whereabouts unknown = 80 %] 27 Brabant ½ leeuwengroten [25 whereabouts unknown = 92.5 %] p. 8 158 Flanders leeuwengroten (of 226) are still in the SMZ collection, an unknown number were sold off by Schulman (item 774), 1 is in the DNB collection, leaving 67 coins sold or unaccounted for (= 29.6 %).
