| Obverse description | Standing full-length figure of Saint Philip in Gothic style, facing forward, holding an elongated cross in his right hand. The combined arms of Austria and Burgundy are displayed on a shield beneath the saint's feet. The field is enclosed within a Gothic architectural frame typical of late 15th-century Flemish coinage. The legend runs along the outer border in Gothic uncial lettering. |

| Reverse description | An ornate floriated cross occupies the center of the reverse, with a fleur-de-lis at its heart. The four angles formed by the cross arms are alternately filled with crowns and fleurs-de-lis, referencing Philip's dual sovereignty over Burgundy and Flanders. The design is executed in the refined Flemish Gothic hammered tradition, with delicate relief work characteristic of the Bruges mint output. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin runs along the outer border, recording Philip's full titular style. |
