| Obverse description | The field is dominated by the crowned composite arms of Austria-Burgundy, rendered in a bold, somewhat irregular hammered style characteristic of early sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. The crowned shield, filling most of the central field, displays the quartered heraldic device of the Habsburgs as rulers of the Burgundian Netherlands, surmounted by an archducal crown. A beaded inner circle frames the shield, with the circumferential legend disposed around the periphery within a beaded outer border. The lettering, executed in a mix of Gothic and Roman uncial characters, reads as an abbreviated monetary title identifying Charles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Holland. |
