just noticed this thread, as a Dutch numismatic it is very easy to determinate, made after a 30 stuiver / 30penny or 1 thaler, date 1563, coin struck by the abbey of Thorn


front side : standing Madonna with Jesus and sceptre behind the coat of arms of Brederode

Text: SANCTA ★ MARIA ★ THORENSIS ★ ECCLESIÆ ★


backside: Winged Saint Michael holding a shield with an eagle

Text: DENARIVS ★ NOVVS ★ TRIGINTA ★ STVFERORVM

Thorn, Netherlands (1000-1631)

reference:

vdCh 8# 17.9 = Pieter Otto van der Chijs
book "Deel van De Munten der voormalige heeren en steden, van de vroegste tijden tot aan de Pacificatie van Gend"
Part 8 "De Munten der leenen van de voormalige hertogdommen Braband en Limburg, " 1862

and also

Delmonte S# 772 "Le Benelux d'argent" 1967

our friend corrado26 is correct, my compliments Sir ! see also the golden Ducat

FYI: Maria and Jesus are always in the abbey's coins present as you can see form this example being also by Margeretha van Brederode. 1/2 Daalder or 12 Stuivers not dated but approx. 1557-1564
Coat of arms clearly the Brederode
