| Beschrijving voorzijde | A rampant lion passant to the left occupies the central field, its characteristically curved tail — the feature giving this type its popular name 'Kromstaart' (curved tail) — prominently displayed. The lion grasps a shield bearing the quartered arms of Burgundy-Flanders, rendered in the bold, somewhat angular style typical of Flemish hammered coinage of the early fifteenth century. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial letterforms running between inner and outer borders. The overall design is executed in high relief, with significant die-striking irregularity consistent with hand-hammered production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John the Fearless issued this groat during one of the most politically fractured periods in Flemish history — he was simultaneously Duke of Burgundy and Count of Flanders while prosecuting a civil war against the Armagnac faction in France, having ordered the assassination of Louis of Orléans in 1407. The kromstaart designation refers to the curved tail on the lion type, a small heraldic distinction that separates it from related issues and forms the basis of the DePas typology.
John was himself assassinated on the bridge at Montereau in September 1419, making this a terminal issue of his reign.
