| Aversbeschreibung | A mounted knight, depicted in left-facing profile, wearing a crowned helmet and full armour. The rider's girdle is crossed by the helmet, and he carries a shield charged with a displayed eagle in his left hand, while his right hand bears a pennant whose staff intersects the surrounding legend. The horse's forelegs extend into the outer legend, emphasizing the dynamic hammered composition. The entire device is contained within a double beaded circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the field between the two circles. |

Jean the Blind ruled Luxembourg from 1309 until his death at Crécy in 1346 — charging into the English archers despite being completely sightless, reportedly tied to his knights so he could at least strike a blow. His ostrich feather crest and motto "Ich dien" were adopted by Edward the Black Prince after the battle, a heraldic borrowing that persists in the British Prince of Wales insignia to this day.
Silver issues from his reign reflect the broad influence of French gros tournois on Low Countries minting practice during this period.
