| Reverse description | Central field features a large quartered shield bearing the arms of Burgundy, Austria, Old Burgundy, and Brabant, surmounted by an imperial crown and flanked by elaborate foliate mantling with decorative ornaments. The shield is encircled by a chain of six links, referencing the coin's typological designation as the '6 links' variety of the Burgundian Kruisrijksdaalder. The circumferential Latin legend · DOMINVS · MIHI · ADIVTOR · runs along the outer border with pellet stops, proclaiming 'The Lord is my Helper.' The reverse design is derived from the imperial Burgundian daalder tradition of the Habsburg Netherlands. |

| Additional information |
The Burgundian Cross dollar — kruisrijksdaalder in Dutch — was authorized by the States General in 1583 as the rebellious northern provinces scrambled to maintain a credible silver coinage during the early phase of the Eighty Years' War. Zeeland's mint at Middelburg was among the most active producers, given the province's relative security behind its water defenses while Spanish forces pressed elsewhere.
The "6 links" designation in HPM refers to a specific die variety distinguished by the number of links in the chain ornament, a collector distinction that has been codified in Dutch numismatic literature since Verkade's 19th-century surveys.
