| Obverse lettering | SIMPLEX ⸰ GROSS ⸰ RO ⸰ REG ⸰ PHI ⸰ ARDV ⸰ AV (Translation: Groat of the King of the Romans and Philip, Archduke of Austria) |
| Reverse description | Central field bearing a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by an imperial crown, the shield displaying an eagle in one quarter and additional armorial charges reflecting the composite arms of the Burgundian-Habsburg territories. Flanking the shield at the sides are small heraldic ornaments, likely fleurs-de-lis or similar devices. The whole is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin moral legend running in the outer margin, separated by pellet stops. The hammered strike shows typical weakness on the high points of the relief, consistent with billon grossi of the Guelders region circa 1487-1488. |
