(Translation: Coin of the King of the Romans and Philip, Archduke of Austria, Burgundy, Brabant and Guelders.)
Reverse description A floriated cross with elaborate trefoil terminals occupies the central field, with a crown placed in each of the four angles between the arms. The letter B, denoting the Bommel (Zaltbommel) mint, appears at the center of the cross intersection. The design is set within a quatrefoil inner border, with additional decorative elements filling the spandrels. The surrounding circular legend in uncial Latin script records a commemorative inscription referencing the peace treaty of 1488. The overall composition reflects the influence of Anglo-Burgundian noble coinage traditions.
