Reverse description A quartered heraldic shield bearing the combined arms of Austria, Burgundy, and Brabant, surmounted by an imperial crown with pendants visible at the sides. The escutcheon is centrally placed in the field and displays the distinctive quarterly arrangement associated with Philip II's Burgundian-Habsburg inheritance. A fleur-de-lis appears at the center of the shield's lower quarters, consistent with the Brabant blazon. The surrounding Latin legend DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR encircles the design along the coin's edge, referencing Psalm 118. The overall composition is characteristic of late 16th-century Habsburgian coinage produced for the Spanish Netherlands.
