Just saw it. Any chance of a clearer picture of the reverse? - the glare makes it hard to read.

I'm struggling a bit. Most likely class 5c, WILLEM ON LVND, but some of the letters don't look quite right.

If you can get a better picture tomorrow in daylight please can you add it here?

Still think it is Willem on Cant - but maybe from damaged dies as the Willem seems to have some strange lines in the letters.
