| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This issue dates to one of the most turbulent episodes in Flemish urban history: the revolt of Ghent against the regency government following the death of Mary of Burgundy in 1482. The city refused to accept Maximilian of Habsburg's authority as guardian of the young Philip, holding Maximilian himself prisoner for several months in 1488. These coins were struck under the rebel municipal administration as Ghent effectively governed itself, using the child Philip's name to lend the issue nominal legitimacy while defying the very regime acting in his name.
