| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian figure of Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, depicted in full armor astride a horse galloping to the right; the duke raises a drawn sword in his right hand in a commanding gesture. The horse is rendered in dynamic motion with detailed caparison. A circular legend in Gothic uncial script surrounds the composition within a beaded inner circle. The overall style reflects the refined Flemish-Burgundian artistic tradition of the mid-fifteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip the Good struck this issue under his Holland comital authority during a period when he was methodically consolidating the Burgundian Netherlands — having inherited Holland, Zeeland, and Hainaut through the Treaty of Delft in 1428. The rider type itself was a deliberate echo of earlier French and Flemish chivalric gold, projecting dynastic ambition through a well-understood monetary idiom at a moment when Philip was still negotiating the terms of his expanded northern dominion.
The .992 fineness is exceptionally high for the period, suggesting this issue was intended as much for hoarding and cross-border settlement as for local circulation.
