| Reversbeschreibung | A quartered heraldic shield bearing the combined arms of Anjou (fleurs-de-lis for France) and Flanders (the Flemish lion), surmounted by an open royal crown. The initial letter F, for François (d'Alençon, Duke of Anjou), appears to either side of the shield as flanking charges. The circumferential legend, separated by pellet stops, carries the Calvinist motto of the Ghent Republic. The overall composition is compact and centrally placed, with the legend running continuously around the shield. |

François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon, was invited by the States General of the Netherlands in 1581 to serve as sovereign lord of the Low Countries — a calculated political maneuver to secure French military backing against Spain. The arrangement was deeply uneasy from the start. Ghent, perpetually fractious, issued coinage under his name while simultaneously resisting the centralizing authority he nominally represented. This piece belongs to that contested interlude before his catastrophic "French Fury" of January 1583, when his troops attempted a coup in Antwerp and destroyed whatever credibility he had left in the region.
