| Beschrijving keerzijde | Four Burgundian firesteels arranged in the form of a cross, with four interlinking rings at the centre forming a cruciform device — emblematic of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the Habsburgs. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath border. The composition is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered copper coinage, with the firesteels occupying the four quadrants of the field. |

Philip II inherited Guelders through the Pragmatic Sanction of 1549, which bundled it into the Habsburg Netherlands against the fierce resistance of a duchy that had spent decades fighting Burgundian absorption. The korte — a small copper fraction — was among the lowest denominations in circulation, the coin most likely to pass through the hands of someone who never handled silver in a given week. Philip's Guelders issues of this period predate the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt by just a few years; by 1566 the region would be consumed by iconoclasm and insurgency.
