Comments

(en)

Guy of Dampierre (Dutch: Gwijde van Dampierre) was both Marquis of Namur and Count of Flanders, so this coin bears both titles, but is a coin attributed to Flanders.  Elsen dates this type to 1295-1296.

Two subtypes with completely different legends have their own Numista listings (see links).
