| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed within a plain inner circle, the two heads surmounted by a single large crown, with wings spread and talons visible at the base. The date appears in the upper field above the eagle's crown, flanking the legend. The peripheral legend runs clockwise in Latin within the outer border, separated from the inner circle by a narrow flat rim, and includes the ruler's name and full imperial titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Vlieger" nickname — meaning kite or flyer — was applied by contemporaries to this denomination based on the spread-eagle design, while "Krabbelaar" (scratcher or scrabbler) was a pejorative used in trade, reflecting suspicion about its silver content. The .618 fineness was deliberately set below the coinage ordinances of neighboring territories, which caused recurring complaints from Flemish and Brabantine merchants who refused it at face value.
Charles V issued this through the Holland mint at Dordrecht during a period when his administration was aggressively harmonizing coinage across the Seventeen Provinces — a project never fully completed before his abdication in 1555.
