| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of Gaucher of Châtillon depicted in right profile, mounted on a prancing horse rendered in high relief typical of early 14th-century feudal coinage. The rider is shown in full knightly armour, lance or sword raised, with details of harness and horse musculature visible despite the hammered fabric of the flan. A beaded inner circle frames the central device. The surrounding peripheral legend reads in Gothic Latin characters, with a cross pattée serving as the initial mark. The overall style reflects the regional feudal minting tradition of the Champagne-Lorraine borderlands. |
