| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Old and New Burgundy, superimposed at center by a small escutcheon of the arms of Guelders. The entire composition is encircled by the linked chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece, with the order's jewel — the fleece pendant — suspended at the base of the chain. The crown above the shield is rendered in a Gothic style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Low Countries hammered coinage. A circumferential Latin legend runs around the outer field within a beaded border. |

Gelderland's decision to strike coinage in 1584 was partly a practical assertion of provincial autonomy within the nascent Dutch Republic, whose financial infrastructure was still fragmentary years into the revolt against Habsburg rule. The half Burgundian cross rijksdaalder type perpetuated an imperial weight standard even as the province was actively repudiating the authority that standard originally served — a contradiction the market apparently tolerated without difficulty.
The PHILIP inscription is the telling detail: it names the very sovereign the province had formally renounced, retained here for trade acceptance rather than loyalty.
