| Beschrijving keerzijde | The elaborate quartered coat of arms of the Spanish Habsburgs, comprising the arms of Castile, León, Aragón, Granada, Austria, Burgundy, Brabant, Flanders, and Tyrol, surmounted by an imperial crown and flanked by two rampant lions as supporters. Below the shield hangs the collar and badge of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular Latin legend around the periphery proclaiming the ruler's titles as Archduke of Austria and Duke of Burgundy and Brabant. The heraldic design is executed in the detailed, high-relief style characteristic of Brussels mint production of the mid-seventeenth century. |

Philip IV never visited the Spanish Netherlands, yet his image was struck on Brabant's coinage for the entirety of his reign — a relationship mediated entirely by successive governors-general in Brussels. The "second bust" designation marks a redesign introduced to distinguish issues after the earlier portrait type, a practical administrative distinction rather than a royal directive. Ducatons of this type circulated as the premium silver denomination of the region during decades of grinding conflict with France and the Dutch Republic, when the Brussels mint's output was as much a statement of continued Habsburg administrative function as it was currency.
The long date range across this type reflects continuous production rather than sporadic striking — the Brussels mint was one of the most active in the southern provinces throughout this period.
