| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Austria-Spain-Burgundy, surmounted by a royal crown. The composite heraldic design displays the characteristic quarters associated with Philip II's dynastic claims, including the bars of Aragon, the castle of Castile, the lion of Leon, and the diagonal stripes of Burgundy. The surrounding legend DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR runs along the coin's periphery. The overall composition is bold and well-centered relative to the irregular flan, consistent with hammered Brabant copper coinage of the late sixteenth century. |
