| Reverse description | Central crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Philip IV as ruler of the Spanish Netherlands, including the castles of Castile, lions of León, and other dynastic quarters. The shield is surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by pellet stops, details the monarch's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Artois. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered coinage of the Southern Netherlands in the early seventeenth century. |
