| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a bold Latin cross with equal arms occupying the central roundel, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Between the arms of the cross, four small decorative elements are visible in the quarters. A second outer legend band is separated from an intermediate legend by a beaded border, creating the characteristic double-legend layout of the Valenciennes gros type. The overall design follows the established Flemish gros format derived from French royal coinage, with the cross serving as the primary religious and heraldic symbol. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John II issued this type in direct response to the monetary chaos following the Battle of the Golden Spurs in July 1302, when Flemish victories over the French crown destabilized commercial networks throughout the Low Countries. The armed figure — identified in the cataloging tradition as a knight — reflects a deliberate effort to project comital authority at a moment when the political order of the region was genuinely uncertain.
The type's short production window of roughly one year accounts for its comparative scarcity relative to other Hainaut issues of the period.
