| Beschrijving keerzijde | A floriated triple cross at the center, set within an ornate quadrilobe frame. Trefoils occupy each of the four external angles formed by the quadrilobe, enriching the decorative field. The design is typical of the Gothic cross-type reverses employed on Flemish gold coinage of the mid-14th century, combining religious symbolism with refined ornamental detail. The encircling legend, punctuated by single annulets, proclaims the sovereignty of Christ. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis II de Male struck this fractional écu during a period of acute political instability in Flanders, navigating between French suzerainty and the economic leverage of the great Flemish cloth towns. The "with Eagle" designation distinguishes this type from closely related issues by the placement of the eagle beneath the shield — a heraldic detail that helps numismatists sequence the count's prolific gold coinage chronologically.
The .969 fineness is exceptionally high, reflecting the competitive pressure on Flemish rulers to maintain gold standards trusted by international merchants at the Bruges fairs.
