| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crudely executed counterfeit reverse depicting the Crowned Madonna (Patrona Hungariae) with the Christ Child cradled in her right arm, the composition centrally placed and dividing a mintmark, though the latter is poorly defined due to the irregular striking quality. The artistic rendering is distorted throughout, reflecting the limitations of illicit manufacture. The surrounding legend, partially legible, identifies the subject as the patron of Hungary. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Contemporary counterfeits of Ferdinand I deniers — struck in base metal with a silver wash rather than solid silver — circulated widely across the Low Countries and northern France during the sixteenth century, where fragmented monetary authority made detection difficult and enforcement inconsistent. The genuine issue was itself a small, lightweight coin easily imitated by clandestine workshops operating just outside jurisdictional reach.
At 0.58g, this piece falls well below the intended standard, which would have been the first thing a suspicious merchant tested with a balance scale.
