| Reverse description | Central field bears the crowned coat of arms of Érard de la Marck as Duke of Bouillon and Count of Loon, depicted as a large heraldic shield surmounted by a cardinal's hat or crown, with the eagle of Bouillon prominently rendered within the escutcheon. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle against a plain field. A circular Latin legend encircles the design along the outer border, separated by a beaded ring, reading: DVX BVLONE Z COMES LOSSENSI E, denoting his secular titles as Duke of Bouillon and Count of Loon. The reverse typology is consistent with hammered silver coinage of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège of the early sixteenth century. |

| Additional information |
Érard de la Marck, Prince-Bishop of Liège from 1505 until his death in 1538, was one of the most politically connected ecclesiastical figures in the Habsburg Netherlands — a close ally of Charles V and a cardinal from 1521. The "Rosart" designation refers to a broad category of silver coinage issued across the Low Countries during this period, named for the rose-like radiate pattern common to the type's cross reverses, though specific die characteristics vary considerably across issuing authorities.
Dengis 844 is among the less frequently encountered Érard issues in the series.
