| Obverse description | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side in the field: the quartered arms of Burgundy at left and the arms of Brabant at right, both surmounted by an elaborate crown of roses with trefoil and quatrefoil floral ornaments. The shields are rendered in fine Gothic relief, with the Burgundian quarterly arms showing the fleurs-de-lis and diagonal bendlets clearly distinguished from the Brabantine lion. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding Latin legend, which reads continuously around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the rampant lion of Flanders, set upon the intersection of a floriated cross whose four arms terminate in pairs of dragon heads, yielding eight dragon heads in total. The dragons are depicted in Gothic style with extended necks and open jaws, radiating dynamically toward the coin's periphery. A beaded inner circle frames the central composition, beyond which a continuous Latin legend encircles the design. The overall arrangement is characteristic of the 'Rozebeker' groot type struck jointly for Flanders and Brabant under Philip the Bold. |
