| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long cross pattee with broad, splayed arms extends to the edge of the inner beaded circle, dividing the field into four equal quarters. The arms of the cross intersect the surrounding legend, a common feature of Flemish billon coinage of this period. The reverse legend, broken by the cross arms, proclaims the monetary authority of the County of Flanders. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the irregular flan reflecting the hand-struck hammered technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Bold's acquisition of Flanders through his marriage to Margaret III in 1369 gave Burgundy its wealthiest and most industrially productive territory. The Flemish mints were immediately valuable — Ghent, Bruges, and Mechelen produced coinage to serve the dense commercial networks of the cloth trade. This billon issue dates to a specific recoinage ordinance of 1386, part of Philip's sustained effort to harmonize monetary standards across his accumulating Low Countries holdings.
The FL mintmark narrows this piece to Flemish production specifically, distinguishing it from the broader Burgundian output of the same period.
