| Reverse description | Central design displays a plain Greek cross with expanded arms set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quarters. Above the cross, at twelve o'clock, appears a Gothic initial or decorative element. Between the inner and outer beaded borders runs the interior legend, with a second exterior legend separated by a further border. The lettering is executed in Gothic majuscules characteristic of mid-14th century Hainaut coinage, with pellets and lozenge-shaped stops as word separators. |
