| Obverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield bearing the combined arms of Bavaria (lozengy) and Holland (a lion rampant), set within a cusped trilobe frame with trefoil ornaments at each lobe junction. The shield is rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of late 14th-century Low Countries coinage. A beaded inner circle encloses the central device, with the circumferential legend running between the inner and outer beaded borders. The overall composition is characteristic of Flemish-influenced groat coinage of the period. |
