Reverse description Crowned shield bearing the quartered Spanish-Habsburg arms, flanked on each side by a firesteel and a crosslet, all superimposed over a large Burgundian cross that fills the field. The composition is characteristic of the Philipsdaalder type issued across the Habsburg Netherlands, with the heraldic devices rendered with precision appropriate to a high-prestige piedfort striking. The peripheral legend in Latin is disposed around the shield and cross motif. The overall design reflects the political authority and dynastic symbolism of Philip II's rule over the Low Countries.
