| Aversbeschreibung | Two heraldic shields displayed side by side — that of Burgundy (per bend, with the Burgundian arms) to the left and Flanders (a lion rampant) to the right — surmounted by a crested helmet topped with a fleur-de-lis finial. The surrounding Latin legend, rendered in Gothic uncial characters, is interrupted by trefoil stops; notably, the letter P in PhS and the D in FLAnDRIЄ each bear a distinguishing dot below. The overall composition is typical of the Burgundian Low Countries hammered coinage of the early fifteenth century. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A bold cross pattee divides the field into four quarters, with alternating fleurs-de-lis and lions rampant placed in the angles, reflecting the heraldic devices of Burgundy and Flanders respectively. The arms of the cross extend nearly to the inner beaded circle, giving the design a commanding, symmetrical appearance characteristic of Burgundian billon and silver coinage of this period. The surrounding Gothic uncial legend, separated by trefoil stops, runs continuously around the periphery within a beaded border. The hammered flan shows the typical irregular outline associated with hand-struck medieval coinage. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Philip the Good inherited Namur in 1421 through purchase from Jean III, who sold the county outright to settle debts — making Namur one of the few territories Philip acquired by transaction rather than inheritance or military seizure. The *braspenning* denomination, a Low Countries adaptation of the French gros, circulated across a monetary zone where multiple overlapping coinages competed, and Philip's aggressive policy of issuing locally distinct types in each county was as much about asserting jurisdictional authority as meeting commercial demand.
DePas distinguishes two numbered varieties for this type, suggesting die or standard changes within the eight-year window.
