Reverse description Quartered shield of arms of the Spanish Habsburg-Burgundian dominions, displaying the arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and Burgundy among others, surmounted by an open crown. The escutcheon is rendered in the heraldic style typical of Spanish Netherlands issues struck under the Archdukes. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading ARCHI · AVST · DVCES · BVRG · ET · D · TOVR, referencing the titles of Archduke and Duke of Burgundy and Lord of Tournai. The flan exhibits the irregular shape and uneven strike characteristic of hammered coinage.
