| Obverse description | Prince Raymond V seated facing on a curule chair decorated with two lion-head finials, holding a fleur-de-lis scepter in his right hand and a cornet-tipped scepter in his left hand. The enthroned figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of mid-14th century feudal coinage, with stylized drapery and a formal frontal pose. The legend runs around the periphery in uncial Latin characters, separated by rosette stops. The overall composition closely follows the Neapolitan carlin type, reflecting the political and cultural affiliations of the Princes of Orange. |
