| Obverse description | Armored equestrian effigy of Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, mounted on a horse galloping to the right, the duke brandishing a raised sword in his right hand. The horse and rider are rendered in the Gothic style typical of Burgundian hammered coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. A place name appears in the exergue below the horse. The peripheral legend in Latin uncial script identifies the issuer, encircling the entire design. |
