| Beschrijving voorzijde | The rampant Lion of Brabant faces left at center, holding an upright sword in its right forepaw and a heraldic shield—divided between the arms of Austria and ancient Burgundy—in its left. A mint mark appears below the lion in the field. The encircling Latin legend reads as an abbreviated titulature of Maria Theresa: MARIA THERESIA DEI GRATIA ROMANORUM IMPERATRIX GERMANIAE HUNGARIAE BOHEMIAEQUE REGINA. The design is executed in the refined baroque engraving style characteristic of the Roëttiers workshop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Austrian Netherlands escalin was struck as part of Maria Theresia's broader currency reform effort following the War of the Austrian Succession, which had left the southern provinces economically disrupted and short of reliable small silver. The .535 fineness reflects a deliberate compromise — fine enough to circulate credibly, debased enough to stretch the silver supply.
Production ran only two years before the denomination was superseded by subsequent reform coinage, making the issue short-lived by any measure.
