Austrian Gold Coins
According to our copy of Krause's World Gold Coins:-
The Austrian Netherlands which corresponds roughly to present day Belgium, came into being on 11th April 1713, when the Treaty of Utrecht awarded the lands to Austria as part settlement following the war with Spain. It passed to France in 1795, was part of the Kingdom of Netherlands from 1815 to 1830, and became the present day Belgium as the result of the revolution of 1830 against William I, Prince of Orange and King of the Netherlands.
Austrian Netherlands Coins
Gold coins of the Austrian Netherlands are denominated as sovereigns (souverains d'or), and half sovereigns, except for an insurrection coinage of 14 florin coins.
