| Beschrijving voorzijde | Duke Philip the Good depicted full-length, standing erect within the hull of a sailing vessel, attired in armour surmounted by a crown of roses. In his raised right hand he brandishes a sword, while his left hand supports a large Burgundian shield charged with a small inescutcheon bearing a lion. The ship's rigging and hull details are rendered in the Gothic hammered style characteristic of Flemish noble coinage. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin letters reads within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Good authorized this fractional noble as part of a broader monetary reorganization following his consolidation of Flemish authority in the early 1420s. The noble itself was an English import — Edward III's gold noble had so thoroughly dominated North Sea trade that Flemish and Burgundian mints were effectively compelled to produce compatible denominations to remain relevant in the commercial circuits connecting Bruges, London, and the Hanseatic ports.
The .995 fineness is notable. Philip maintained gold standards at near-purity partly to sustain Bruges's credibility as a financial center, where merchant confidence depended on predictable coin quality.
