| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a Brabantine-style city gate with two flanking towers surmounted by crosses, with an arched doorway at the base enclosing a figural element, rendered in the manner characteristic of Flemish groot coinage struck at Aalst. The central design is enclosed within a beaded circle, beyond which a border of twelve roundels each contains a stylized leaf or cross ornament, alternating to create a decorative outer ring. The mint name legend + MONETA: ALOST appears between the beaded circle and the outer roundel border, identifying the Aalst mint. The architectural motif reflects the Brabançon castle type introduced under Robert III of Béthune. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Robert III of Béthune inherited Flanders under French suzerainty after the disaster of his father Guy de Dampierre's imprisonment by Philip IV, and his coinage reflects the political tightrope he walked throughout his reign. The groat types he issued drew deliberately on the Flemish minting tradition while operating under constant French pressure to subordinate Flemish monetary policy to Paris.
VGH#170 is one of several groat varieties attributed to this reign, distinguished by the Brabançon castle type — a design choice that signals alignment with Brabantine monetary conventions during a period when cross-border trade on the Scheldt made interoperability with neighboring coinages commercially essential.
