| Reverse description | The central field displays the quartered arms of Brabant set within a pointed quadrilobe, with four small heraldic shields disposed in the angles of the quadrilobe. The overall design is characteristic of the Burgundian-period Brabantine florins, with the armorial composition framed within a beaded or plain inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters encircles the entire device along the outer border. |

| Additional information |
Philip I of Saint-Pol held Brabant for fewer than three years before dying without issue in 1430, triggering a succession crisis that ultimately drew the duchy into the Burgundian orbit under Philip the Good. These florins were struck during the early years of his reign, when Philip was navigating intense pressure from both the Burgundian and Luxembourgish branches of his extended family. The Brabantine gold florin series had been closely modeled on Florentine weight standards since the late fourteenth century, making these coins functionally acceptable across a broad trading network well beyond the duchy's borders.
Delmonte G#57 is among the scarcer Philip I types in the series.
