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.
