Obverse description Quartered heraldic shield occupying the central field, displaying the arms of Brabant and Austria, surmounted by a small crown above the escutcheon. The shield is rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 15th-century Low Countries coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the abbreviated Latin legend in uncial script running along the outer periphery. The overall design reflects the dual authority of Philip the Handsome as Archduke of Austria and Duke of Brabant.
