Choice set of three different denominations, all with at least some violet toning and traces of original luster (especially on the smaller two), all with lion in shield between S and R (for St. Rumbold) on one side and denomination within (or below, on the smallest) legends referring to the Ecclesia Metropolitana Mechliniae (Metropolitan Church of Mechelen), no others graded by PCGS or NGC and apparently quite rare in uncirculated condition.
