| Beschrijving keerzijde | A prominent long cross pattée extends to the edges of the inner circle, dividing the field into four equal quarters, each left plain. An inner beaded or linear circle intersects the arms of the cross, creating a characteristic double-circle arrangement typical of Burgundian-influenced mites of the period. The circumferential Latin legend is distributed between the inner and outer border, interrupted by the cross arms. The die work is bold but somewhat irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production circa 1460. |

Joan of Merwede inherited the lordships of Gerdingen and Stein through the tangled dynastic politics of the Low Countries in the mid-fifteenth century, making her one of the relatively few female lords issuing coinage in her own name in this region and period. The mite — the smallest denomination in the Brabantine monetary system — was the workhorse of street-level commerce, and lordships this minor struck them partly as assertion of seigneurial rights, not purely from fiscal need.
The van der Chijs and Lucas references place this type among a thin cluster of survivals; Gerdingen and Stein never operated at scale.
