| Reverse description | Central field bears a long ornate cross composed of four fleurs-de-lis or similar decorative terminals, with small heraldic devices or rosettes placed in the angles between the arms. The date 1577 and the denomination indicator '8 S' (8 stuivers) appear within the circular Latin legend along the outer margin, separated by pellet stops. A beaded inner border encloses the design, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Utrecht mint during the reign of Philip II. |
