| Beschrijving keerzijde | An ornate floriated double cross occupies the full field, its four arms extending to the inner circle, with the angles of the cross adorned alternately with crowns and fleur-de-lis in a decorative arrangement typical of Burgundian Netherlandish gold coinage. The cross is elaborately decorated with Gothic foliate terminals. A beaded inner circle encloses the design, with the reverse legend distributed around the periphery in uncial Latin lettering, separated by stops and a decorative initial mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Handsome's gold coinage from Brabant exists within one of the more chaotic monetary administrations of the Low Countries. His reign over the Burgundian Netherlands was interrupted by repeated conflicts with the Estates over fiscal policy, and his absences — particularly the two voyages to Castile to assert his wife Joanna's inheritance — left mint supervision inconsistent. The half florin denomination was deliberately kept at reduced fineness compared to earlier Burgundian issues, a concession to the metal shortages and debasement pressures that plagued the region from the 1490s onward.
Philip died in Burgos in September 1506, cutting this series short at six years.
