| Reverse description | Central device comprising a large ornate M monogram, within which the interlaced letters PhS (for Philippus) and MAX (for Maximilian) are embedded, referencing the dual authority of regent and ward. Above and below the monogram, firesteels (briquets), flint, and sparks appear as decorative and heraldic elements drawn from the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece iconography. The surrounding legend is divided by these devices and is rendered in Gothic lettering consistent with late fifteenth-century Netherlandish coinage conventions. The overall design is symmetrical and heraldically precise, emphasizing dynastic legitimacy. |
