| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a displayed eagle (alerion), the heraldic bird of Lorraine, rendered in a bold medieval style with spread wings and stylized plumage. The eagle faces upward with pronounced feather detailing on the wings and tail. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading '+ IOhAnES DVX +', identifying the issuer as John, Duke. The coin exhibits the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the mid-to-late fourteenth century, with a beaded or rope-like border partially visible at the coin's edge. |
