| Obverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Burgundy and Holland, surmounted by a fleur-de-lis and flanked by additional heraldic devices. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters reads the ruler's titles, interrupted by annulet stops. The overall style is characteristic of late medieval Burgundian hammered billon coinage, with an irregular flan and somewhat uneven strike. |
