| Obverse description | Central Burgundian cross with elaborate foliate and firesteel ornamentation at its heart, the four arms radiating outward to divide the date (15-68) in the lateral fields. A mint mark appears at the top, above the cross. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circumferential legend runs. The overall style is characteristic of Habsburg-Burgundian hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth century, with robust and deeply struck relief. |

| Reverse description | Crowned coat of arms of Austria-Burgundy displayed at centre, elaborately quartered and surmounted by an arched crown. The shield is encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, with the pendant fleece visible at the base. The heraldic composition is set within a beaded inner circle, flanked by the circumferential legend. The engraving reflects the formal, courtly style typical of Philip II's Netherlandish issues. |
