| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long cross with ornate arms divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a floral or heraldic device typical of Guelders coinage of the period. The cross design is characteristic of late 15th-century Low Countries silver coinage. A circular Latin legend in uncial script runs along the periphery, reading REFORMACIO * GUERRE * PAX * EST * B, translating as 'Peace is the reform of war,' a motto reflecting the political aspirations of the duchy. The overall design is bold and well-centred despite the irregularity of the hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Handsome held nominal authority over Guelders during these years, but the duchy was effectively governed by his father Maximilian of Habsburg while Philip was still a child. The coin was struck during one of the most contested periods in Guelders' history — the duchy was fighting to preserve autonomy against Burgundian-Habsburg absorption, a struggle that would drag on until Charles of Egmond finally expelled the Habsburgs in 1492.
The vdCh 2#14.2 reference places this among the documented stiver issues catalogued by Van der Chijs, whose mid-nineteenth-century work on Low Countries coinage remains the foundational attribution for this series.
