| Reverse description | A short floriated cross with flaring, foliate terminals occupies the central field, with a prominent fleur-de-lis motif at the center intersection, typical of Burgundian-influenced Low Countries ecclesiastical numismatic iconography. The arms of the cross are of equal length and adorned with foliate finials, giving the design an ornate, Gothic character. The entire device is contained within a beaded inner circle. A continuous Latin devotional legend in uncial Gothic lettering fills the outer border, separated from the inner circle by a narrow plain band. |
