| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a triple-towered castle gateway in the Namur style, with a central gate arch flanked by two square towers and a taller central tower surmounted by a Maltese cross, all rendered in bold relief characteristic of hammered medieval coinage. The castle is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which an intermediate annular band is decorated with a continuous Gothic trefoil and quatrefoil scroll ornament interspersed with cross pommée motifs set in roundels. The outer legend zone bears the abbreviated mint name in uncial script, introduced by a cross stop. The overall reverse type is closely modelled on the gros tournois castle reverse, adapted for the comital mint of Brustem. |

Arnold V ruled Loon during a period when the county was effectively caught between the competing pressures of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the Duchy of Brabant. His groats adopt the Namur castle type — a design borrowed rather than native to Loon — reflecting the broader political mimicry of smaller Meuse-valley lordships that needed commercial coinage recognizable enough for regional trade but lacked the minting tradition to develop independent iconography. Loon was absorbed into Liège in 1366, making all coinage from the county's final independent generations genuinely terminal issues.
