| Reverse description | The reverse displays an elaborate floriated cross occupying the full field, its four arms terminating in ornate foliate scrollwork and floral bosses rendered in the Renaissance decorative style typical of Netherlandish hammered gold coinage of the period. Small rosette or lis ornaments serve as word separators within the circumferential Latin legend. The date 1577 is divided by the mint mark of the Utrecht mint, with the numerals 15 appearing to the left and 77 to the right of the mark at the centre of the coin. The outer border is formed by a continuous inner beaded circle, framing the legend neatly against the hammered flan. |
