| Opschrift voorzijde | * PHILIP GVIL * D G PRINC |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée with decorative scalloped or flared terminals occupies the center of the field, with a single trefoil or leaf ornament positioned at each of the four corners between the arms. A continuous circular Latin legend surrounds the design, citing the ruler's comital title. The overall strike is typical of hammered billon coinage, with a slightly uneven flan and bold, if worn, relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philippe Guillaume of Nassau-Orange spent virtually his entire tenure as Prince of Orange fighting legal and military battles with the French crown over the enclave's autonomy. The Principality of Orange was a sovereign pocket surrounded entirely by French territory, and its right to strike independent coinage was a recurring flashpoint — French authorities periodically seized Orangeois coins as unauthorized currency in local markets.
Billon issues of this type saw heavy regional circulation in the lower Rhône corridor, where small-denomination coinage was chronically short.
