| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a crowned heraldic shield bearing the arms of the County of Loos (Looz), displayed as a barry field of horizontal stripes, surmounted by a crown and supported by additional heraldic elements. The shield is rendered in the angular, flat style typical of hammered copper liards of the Southern Netherlands. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading COMES·LOSSENSIS, identifying Ernest as Count of Loos, one of his principal territorial titles as Prince-Bishop of Liège. The flan is irregular and the strike is uneven, with portions of the legend weakly impressed at the periphery. Surface patination is heavy, with areas of encrustation consistent with prolonged burial or extended circulation. |
