| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse mirror image of the obverse, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage struck on a single thin flan. The quartered heraldic shield of the Lords of Sombreffe appears in reverse relief, with all design elements transposed left-to-right and recessed into the surface. This negative impression is a direct consequence of the single-die hammered bracteate technique, wherein the obverse die's impression is transmitted through the thin metal to produce a mirrored indentation on the reverse face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Lordship of Reckem was a minor feudal holding in the county of Namur, and its monetary output was correspondingly small — these bracteates circulated locally under the authority of William II of Sombreffe as a practical necessity in thin-money markets where even fractional silver had real purchasing power. Billon this light sits at the absolute margin of medieval minting capability, and surviving examples are rarely intact at the edge.
