| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reproduction of a medieval Brabantine ducal coinage type, depicting a crowned and armored ruler seated facing on a Gothic throne, holding a sword in the right hand and an orb in the left. The throne is elaborately decorated with Gothic architectural elements including crocketed canopies and flanking columns. A heraldic shield bearing the lion of Brabant is displayed to the right of the enthroned figure. The entire design is executed in high relief against a mirror proof field, faithfully reproducing the style of a medieval ducal écu. The surrounding legend in Gothic Latin reads: DEI GRA BRABANCIE DVC MONA IOHIS. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Belgium's ECU coinage program, this piece commemorates the medieval Duchy of Brabant, the territory whose silver coinage — particularly the real and later the Burgundian issues — dominated Low Countries trade from the 13th century onward. The ECU itself, though never circulating currency, was a genuine accounting unit used in EC financial transactions throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, giving these Belgian issues a dual identity that most commemoratives lack.
Brabant's historical connection to the ECU's predecessor is not incidental: the duchy's monetary infrastructure under the Habsburgs directly influenced the Spanish Netherlands coinage standards that fed into early pan-European exchange calculations.
