| Reverse description | A long double cross with pellets or balls at each arm terminus divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a letter spelling the name of the moneyer responsible for the issue. This voided or double-cross type closely follows the Anglo-French sterling prototype widespread in the Low Countries during the second half of the 13th century. A circular legend in Latin uncial script surrounds the entire design, identifying the moneyer and the mint of Herstal. The strike is characteristically irregular on a roughly round flan. |
