| Beschrijving keerzijde | A simple short voided cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a single letter, a characteristic design of Low Countries deniers of this period. The cross arms extend nearly to the inner pearled circle, with the letters positioned clearly in each quadrant. The design is framed by two concentric pearled circles enclosing the circumferential legend. The die work is elementary, consistent with the small-scale hammered copper coinage of minor feudal lordships in the early fifteenth-century Low Countries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Megen was a small lordship on the Maas river in Guelders, and its coinage output in the early fifteenth century was modest almost to the point of obscurity. The 1/8 groot fraction in copper places this squarely among the petty change struck for local market transactions — denominations this small rarely traveled far from their issuing territory, which partly explains why surviving examples are so seldom encountered outside Dutch regional collections.
Elizabeth here is Elizabeth of Megen, who held the lordship during this window following the death of her predecessor. Van der Chijs's reference remains the standard citation for Megen issues, and 8#3.17 is among the less frequently illustrated entries in that catalog.
