| Obverse description | Central plain cross pattée set within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. Between the inner beaded circle and an outer plain circle, a secondary legend ring features a small cross pattée at each cardinal point, alternating with pellets as word separators. The entire design is framed by a double concentric legend band carrying the full devotional and titular inscription in Gothic uncial characters. The overall composition reflects the standard Low Countries gros tournois-derived typology of the early fourteenth century. |
