Beschrijving keerzijde Long floriated cross with trefoil terminals at each arm, dividing the inner field into four quarters, each adorned with foliate or floral ornaments. The cross is contained within a plain inner circle and surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs between the inner and outer beaded borders, with the mint date appearing at the conclusion of the legend. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan shape typical of late medieval hammered coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Mary of Burgundy's tenure over the Low Countries was defined almost entirely by crisis management. Her father Charles the Bold died at Nancy in January 1477, leaving her to negotiate the Great Privilege with the Flemish and Brabantine estates — a sweeping rollback of ducal centralization — just to secure their military cooperation against a French invasion. Holland's coinage during her reign reflects this fractured authority, issued under her name but subject to estate pressure that her father would never have tolerated.

She died in 1482 from a riding accident, cutting this issue's production window sharply short.
