| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with equal arms displayed at center within a beaded inner circle, around which radiates a twelve-pointed star-like pattern of wedge-shaped segments forming an outer decorative band. The entire design is enclosed between two concentric beaded borders, with the circumferential legend occupying the broad outer margin. The reverse type closely follows the conventions of contemporary Flemish and northern French gros coinage. |

| Additional information |
John of Flanders acquired the lordship of Crèvecoeur through the complex territorial fallout following the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302, when French control over Flemish territories fractured and local lords repositioned accordingly. This baudekin — a small silver denier-class issue — was struck during a narrow two-year window that coincides with ongoing Franco-Flemish negotiations preceding the Treaty of Pontoise. Issues from minor Flemish lordships of this period are frequently misattributed; PA#6924 remains the standard reference for separating Crèvecoeur output from contemporary imitations.
