Reverse description A long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a heraldic charge: the upper quarters display rampant lions, while the lower quarters bear fleurs-de-lis, referencing the territorial arms associated with the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. A small central motif marks the intersection of the cross. The outer margin carries a Gothic uncial legend denoting the monetary authority and the mint at Hasselt, all enclosed within a beaded circle consistent with the hammered coinage style of the period.
