| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large rose occupies the central field, rendered in low relief consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. The design is enclosed within an inner pearled circle, with the circumferential legend distributed between the inner and outer pearled borders. The overall execution is characteristic of the small feudal denier coinage of the Low Countries in the first half of the fifteenth century. |

Megen was a tiny lordship on the Maas in Guelders, and its minting rights were perpetually contested. John IV — known as Dicbier, roughly "fat man" or "stout beer," depending on your source — exercised those rights aggressively during the 1430s, a decade when the broader Low Countries were drowning in low-grade billon small change from dozens of petty lords exploiting weak imperial oversight. The vdCh 8#3.15 reference places this among a tightly documented group, but surviving examples remain scarce precisely because coins of this fineness circulated until they were unrecognizable.
