Definition

• The Dutch equivalent for the Crown or Ecu. The Gouden Schild (or golden shield) is the same as the Ecu d'Or.

  According to v.d. Chijs, this coin was introduced in Brabant under Philip of Valois (1327-1350); in Holland under William V (1345-1359); and in Gueldres under Reinoud III (1343-1361). A new type, called the Brabandsch Schild (q.v.), was struck pursuant to an ordinance of May 10, 1430.
