| Reverse description | The central device consists of a prominent Gothic Roman capital letter 'M' enclosed within an inner diamond-shaped circle, a device commonly associated with the matrix or chapter authorization legend on ecclesiastical civic coinage of the Duchy of Guelders. Four small ornamental elements occupy the angles of the diamond border. The outer field bears a Latin legend in uncial script referencing the ecclesiastical concession of the coinage. The flan is hand-struck and irregular, with the legend partially weak at the periphery due to typical hammering inconsistencies. |
