| Aversbeschreibung | Central field dominated by the crowned quartered imperial arms of Charles V, displaying the heraldic devices of Castile, Leon, Aragon, and Flanders, surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is set upon a floriated cross dividing the field. A crowned gothic 'Y' countermark appears incuse, likely applied as a validation mark during the siege. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, partially legible, reading within a beaded border. The overall style is consistent with late 16th-century hammered emergency coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central field bears the crowned heraldic arms of Charles V, quartered with the royal devices of Castile, Leon, Aragon, and Granada, surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is rendered in the Gothic heraldic tradition typical of Habsburg Low Countries coinage of the late 16th century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device within a beaded border, consistent with the siege coinage series produced at Ypres. The hammered strike produces a characteristically irregular planchet with softness in the peripheral legends. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Ypres was besieged by Alessandro Farnese's Spanish forces from June 1583 to April 1584, part of the systematic reconquest of the southern Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War. Siege coinages were struck by the besieged garrison out of practical necessity — standard supply lines were cut, and civil commerce still required a functioning medium of exchange. Gold at .750 fineness suggests the mint was working with whatever metal was available locally, almost certainly melted plate or jewelry rather than refined bullion.
Ypres surrendered on 7 April 1584. Few pieces of this type survived the aftermath.
