| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold cross pattée extending to a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters, each occupied by an alternating motif of a passant lion and a fleur-de-lis — emblems of Flanders and Burgundy respectively — rendered in high relief in the characteristic hammered style of the period. The cross arms broaden toward their terminals, a defining feature of the pattée form. A beaded inner circle encloses the central design, while the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs between the inner and outer borders, identifying this as a new coinage of the County of Flanders. |
