| Reverse description | A cross pattee occupies the central field, its arms extending to intersect an interior circular legend within a beaded inner circle. The inner legend identifies the issuing count, while an outer legend within a second beaded circle carries a devotional inscription in uncial Latin. The arrangement follows the standard gros format of the Low Countries, with the dual-legend concentric layout characteristic of 14th-century Flemish and Walloon coinage. |
