| Reverse description | A bold long cross pattée extends to the beaded border, dividing the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a heraldic charge in high relief: upper left, an eagle displayed (emblem of the Holy Roman Empire or Frisia); upper right, a rampant lion (Holland); lower left, a rampant lion (Hainaut); lower right, a lion passant or similar charge (Zeeland). The four coats of arms reflect Margaret II's territorial claims. The circumferential legend in Gothic script, separated by rosette stops, reads MONETA VALENCENNENSIS, denoting the mint of Valenciennes. |
