| Reverse description | A bold cross pattée occupies the central field, with the four arms extending toward a beaded inner circle that frames the design. At the center of the cross sits a small heraldic shield, serving as the focal point of the composition. The cross arms divide the inner field into four quadrants, each left plain. The surrounding legend DA MICHI VIRT CONT HOS TVOS, meaning 'Give me strength against your enemies,' runs between the beaded inner circle and the coin's outer rim, separated by pellet stops. The overall composition is consistent with the standard reverse type for Habsburg billon mites of Brabant struck at Antwerp during the reign of Charles V. |
