| Reverse description | Central design features a long cross pattee dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a Gothic letter or symbol, likely referring to the mint city of Ghent. The cross extends to the beaded inner border, with small decorative elements at the terminals. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial script proclaims the city's motto of trust in the Lord, referencing Ghent explicitly. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and uneven surface texture typical of late 15th-century Flemish billon coinage. |
