| Obverse description | A crowned rampant lion of Flanders faces left within a plain inner circle, rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of emergency coinage. The lion is depicted with an open mouth, extended claws, and a prominently curled tail. The peripheral legend encircles the design, with the date 1581 appearing at the bottom of the field. Rosette or floral stops punctuate the inscription. The flan is irregular and slightly off-centre, typical of struck copper coinage produced during the Ghent Revolt. |
