| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays a large long cross pattée extending to the inner circle, with the quartered arms of Burgundy-Flanders at the centre: quarterly displaying the arms of Burgundy (ancient and modern), Flanders (a lion rampant), and Castile-León, all rendered in bold hammered relief. The letters G and A appear in the upper quarters flanking the shield's apex, likely denoting the Ghent mint authority. A beaded inner circle encloses the heraldic composition, while the peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters reads: PhS D G D B CO FLADRIE G A n D, attributing the issue to Philip, by the grace of God Duke of Burgundy and Count of Flanders. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Central field within a beaded inner circle depicts the rampant lion of Flanders facing left, rendered with vigorous detail typical of late medieval Flemish hammered coinage: the lion is shown with an open mouth, raised forepaws, and a boldly stylised mane and tail. The surrounding peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters reads: EQVA LIBERTAS DEO GRATA 1488, the motto 'Equal liberty, pleasing to God' alluding to the political circumstances of the Ghent Revolt. The date 1488 is incorporated within the legend, and the overall die work reflects the emergency coinage character of this issue. |

In 1488, Philip the Handsome was not yet ruling anything — he was ten years old and effectively a hostage. The citizens of Ghent, in revolt against the regency council governing in his name, briefly held the young Habsburg heir within the city while extracting political concessions from Maximilian of Austria. This coin was struck during that extraordinary episode, when Ghent's mint operated under rebel civic authority while nominally issuing in the name of the captive prince.
The Gelder Hoc and De Pas references catalog several die variants from this short window of production, reflecting the chaotic conditions under which the mint functioned.
