| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned composite shield of Austria-Burgundy, quarterly arranged, with an inescutcheon bearing a rampant lion at center, the whole set within an ornate polylobed inner border. The crown surmounting the shield is rendered in Gothic style with prominent fleurons. Decorative foliate elements fill the spandrels between the polylobe and the circular legend. The circumferential legend in uncial Gothic lettering is separated by rosette or annulet stops. |

| Additional information |
Philip the Handsome spent much of his reign perpetually in transit between his Burgundian and Castilian inheritances, and the mints of his composite territories struck in his name with varying degrees of coordination. Namur's output during this window was modest — the county remained a relatively minor lordship within the broader Habsburg-Burgundian complex, and its coinage often reflected local monetary conditions rather than any centralized directive from Philip's itinerant court.
The Vanhoudt 151·NA attribution places this firmly within the regional billon and low-silver issues specific to Namur, distinct from the heavier patard strikings of Brabant or Flanders.
