| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central motif features a cross pattée or voided cross within a beaded inner circle, with pellets or small ornaments placed in the angles of the cross, a common Carolingian-derived design element. The outer field between the inner and outer circles is divided into alternating segments by radiating lines. The marginal legend bearing the count's name, introduced by a cross pommée, surrounds the entire design. The lettering is executed in crude majuscule Latin characters consistent with provincial Flemish hammer-struck coinage of the late 11th to early 12th century. The flan is irregular and slightly broad, typical of deniers produced at the Arras mint under Robert II. |

Robert II of Flanders earned his epithet "the Jerusalemite" by joining the First Crusade in 1096, distinguishing himself at the siege of Antioch and the fall of Jerusalem the following year. His absence from Flanders lasted roughly three years, during which comital administration — and minting at Arras — continued under existing arrangements. Coins struck across his reign therefore span the most dramatic military episode in eleventh-century northern Europe.
Arras functioned as the principal mint of the county during this period, its output reflecting Flemish commercial density rather than any commemorative impulse.
