| Aversbeschreibung | A helmeted lion, rampant and facing left, is depicted seated within a Gothic architectural canopy or stall, rendered in the ornate Flemish Gothic style. The lion wears a helmet, emphasizing the heraldic character of the design. The legend surrounds the central device, separated by double annelet punctuation. In the exergue below the figure appears the inscription FLANDRES, identifying the issuing territory. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A short, floriated cross with equal arms occupies the center of the die, bearing the letter D at its intersection within a polylobe or multi-cusped inner border. The letters F, L, A, and N are disposed in the four angles formed by the arms of the cross. The surrounding legend, punctuated by double saltires, carries the well-known Benedictus devotional inscription, a common feature on Flemish gold coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Louis II de Male struck this half-denomination in 1365 as part of a broader monetary reform aimed at stabilizing Flemish coinage after decades of debasement and competitive devaluation against French royal issues. The County of Flanders occupied an awkward political position throughout Louis's reign — nominally a French fief, yet economically and commercially oriented toward England, its primary wool supplier. That tension shaped every monetary decision Louis made, including the weight and fineness of his gold issues.
Delmonte records this type as genuinely scarce in any grade, a reflection of its brief emission period rather than low original production.
