| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée extends to the inner beaded circle, dividing the interior legend into four quadrants. The interior legend names the issuer as Count of Hainaut, while a continuous exterior circular legend invokes the Trinitarian formula in abbreviated Latin. The lettering is rendered in Gothic blackletter characters typical of mid-fourteenth-century Flemish and Hainaut coinage, separated by distinctive punctuation marks. The reverse design follows the standard groat format established for the County of Hainaut under William II of Avesnes. |
