| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold long cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a group of pellets arranged in a triangular or quatrefoil pattern, a design closely derived from the contemporary English sterling coinage. The cross extends to a beaded inner circle, beyond which the legend CIV ITA SAL OST — identifying the mint city of Aalst — is distributed across the four segments of the outer field. The overall design is framed by a beaded border following the irregular outline of the hammered flan. This reverse type follows the well-established continental sterling tradition modelled on the Edwardian penny. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guy of Dampierre struck these sterlings during a period of acute political pressure from Philip IV of France, who was systematically undermining Flemish comital authority through legal and financial manipulation. The eagle type distanced Guy's coinage from French royal imitation sterlings, asserting a distinct comital identity at precisely the moment French influence was tightening around Flemish autonomy. Within two years of this issue, the conflict had escalated toward the ruinous treaty of 1300, when Philip briefly absorbed Flanders outright.
