| Obverse description | Central field displays a Burgundian cross with firesteel (flint-and-steel) device at its center, set above a stylized Dutch garden motif. The cross arms extend to the coin's inner border, with the characteristic forked Burgundian form. A Latin legend encircles the design reading the royal and comital titulature of Philip II. The entire composition is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the period, with the legend frequently weak or partially off-flan. |
