| Obverse description | Central field displays a crowned coat of arms of Luxembourg, rendered in the late Gothic hammered style typical of early sixteenth-century Low Countries coinage. The shield is surmounted by a crown and flanked by decorative elements within a plain inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin reads PhS DVX LVXEMBVRGIS, identifying Philip the Handsome as Duke of Luxembourg. The coin is struck on a slightly irregular flan with a beaded border running along the outer rim. The overall style reflects the transitional heraldic coinage of the Burgundian Netherlands under Philip I. |
