定義

• A base silver coin which cir- culated in England toward the close of the thirteenth century. For a short time they were allowed to pass at the rate of two for a penny, but were prohibited in 1310. The name was probably given to them from the fact that they originated in Flanders, Bra- bant, or the Low Countries.

  Ruding (i. 201) states that " these coins were distinguished by the names of pol- lards, crocards, scaldings, brabants, eagles, leonines, sleepings, etc." Holinshed, in his Chronicle , 1577- '87 (iii. 309), adds that " all these were white monies, artificiallie made of siluer, copper, and sulphur."
