| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device features a plain cross pattee within a double beaded inner circle, dividing the inner field into four quadrants. A secondary inner legend band carries the opening words of the religious formula in Gothic Latin script, separated by stops and a cross. The outer legend identifies the mint of Arnhem. The flat, open cross design follows the standard gros tournois-derived type widely adopted across the Low Countries duchies in the 14th century. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered coinage of this period. |

Edward of Guelders ruled the duchy from 1361 until his death in 1371, a decade defined largely by his entanglement in the dynastic ambitions of the Valois and the persistent financial pressures of maintaining a border territory squeezed between Brabant, Cleves, and the Bishop of Utrecht. The "plak" denomination — a heavy silver piece circulating across the lower Rhine and Meuse trade corridors — was a practical response to the chronic shortage of reliable medium-value coinage in the region, where French and Brabantine issues dominated but were frequently clipped or debased.
The van der Chijs reference numbers 5.2 through 5.4 indicate at least three catalogued die variants within this single reign, suggesting continuous mint activity rather than a single short issue.
