| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned heraldic shield bearing the quartered arms of Philip the Handsome, encompassing the dynastic territories of Castile, León, Aragon, and the Habsburg lands, flanked by two supporters and surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters reading the ruler's titles. The overall composition reflects the late medieval Burgundian-Habsburg heraldic tradition, with deeply struck, bold relief typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a crowned heraldic shield displaying the arms of Luxembourg — the silver lion rampant on a field of barry — surmounted by a crown and flanked by decorative supporters, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend in Gothic uncial characters encircles the design, identifying the coin as the money of Luxembourg with the date 1502. The execution is characteristic of late 15th to early 16th-century hammered silver coinage produced under Habsburg administration in the Low Countries. |
