| Obverse description | Central crowned shield bearing the Bourbon arms (three fleurs-de-lis arranged in heraldic fashion), flanked by three small fleurs-de-lis in the field, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial characters reads: ✣ LVDOVIC' ✿ EPS' ✿ LEODIENSIS:, referencing Louis of Bourbon as Bishop of Liège. The overall style is characteristic of late 15th-century Low Countries hammered billon coinage, with irregular flan edges and bold central relief. |
