Reverse description Central field features a long cross extending to the inner beaded border, with a fleur-de-lis occupying one of the lower quarters, consistent with Burgundian Low Countries typology for small billon denominations of this period. The cross divides the field into four quadrants with heraldic or ornamental elements. The surrounding circular legend in uncial lettering carries the devotional inscription, separated by stops. The overall strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production, resulting in a slightly off-center impression on an irregular flan.
