| Reverse description | A crowned heraldic shield depicting a rampant lion, representing the arms of the La Marck family as associated with the Abbey of Thorn. The shield is set within a wreath border, with the crown surmounting the escutcheon rendered in a stepped or battlemented form typical of abbatial heraldic coinage. The rampant lion is depicted in high relief, facing left, with raised forepaws and tail erect. The overall style is characteristic of low-denomination hammered copper issues of the Southern Netherlands in the early seventeenth century. |
