This is an eight-stuiver coin, possibly from 1709. It was a "noodmunt" (emergency coin) made by the allies, and it depicts the coat of arms of the city of Doornik (Tournai). It was struck at the order of the Marshal de Surville. The reverse side of the coin contains the words "Moneta [in the year] 1709, obsidione [taken] urbis Ccenci", which means "Coin [in the year] 1709, during the siege of the city of Cenci".
