| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist stands in high relief at the center of the field, nimbate with a cruciform halo, dressed in a long mantle. He holds a long cross-staff in his left hand while his right hand is extended outward in a gesture of blessing. The figure stands upon a hatched ground line, the whole enclosed within a circular Latin legend identifying the patron saint, consistent with the Florentine florin's iconographic tradition of depicting the city's patron on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Margaret II ruled Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland simultaneously, an accumulation that made her one of the most powerful territorial rulers in the Low Countries — and a direct rival to the French crown's ambitions in the region. Her gold florins were struck in deliberate imitation of the Florentine florin, then the dominant trade currency of northern Europe, a practical decision that ensured acceptance across markets indifferent to Hainaut's political borders.
The county's mint output during her reign reflects the monetary competition between Low Country princes, each issuing gold in formats designed for interoperability rather than assertion of local identity. Delmonte's G#286 is among the better-documented of her issues.
