| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered royal coat of arms of Philip IV, displaying the castles and lions of Castile and León, the chains of Navarre, and the eagles and bars of Aragon and Sicily, is depicted on a large crowned shield superimposed upon the cross of Saint Andrew (saltire). The shield is surmounted by an elaborate crown in high relief. The date 1637 is divided on either side of the shield within the saltire arms. The circumferential legend in abbreviated Latin runs between beaded borders, citing the king's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Lord of Tournai. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tournai's escalin coinage under Philip IV occupied an awkward administrative position — the city was a Spanish-held enclave deep within the Southern Netherlands, periodically threatened by French forces throughout the Thirty Years' War and its aftermath. The mint operated under persistent pressure from Brussels to conform to broader Habsburg monetary policy, which it did imperfectly and intermittently.
The 43-year span of this type reflects less continuity than interruption: French sieges, occupation in 1651, and the eventual cession of Tournai to Louis XIV in 1667 by the Treaty of Breda's aftermath all disrupted regular striking. Survivors in collectible condition are relatively scarce given the extended nominal production window.
