| Beschrijving voorzijde | A large lion rampant to the left occupies the central field, its tail characteristically curved upward in the 'kromsteert' (crooked tail) style. Upon the lion's flank is superimposed a quartered escutcheon bearing the arms of Heinsberg. The design is rendered in the bold, slightly crude style typical of hammered Low Countries coinage of the mid-15th century. The entire central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the episcopal legend in Gothic uncial lettering arranged in the outer legend band, introduced by a cross pattée. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John of Heinsberg held the Prince-Bishopric of Liège for over three decades, a tenure marked by persistent conflict with the city's guilds and recurring clashes with the Duke of Burgundy. The 'Kromsteert' — literally "crooked tail" — is a type name derived from a die characteristic, not an official denomination, and its informal coinage in the Low Countries reflects the fractured monetary authority that made regional ecclesiastical minting both necessary and commercially competitive during this period.
Van Hoydonck's Atlas attribution places this squarely within a documented series, though die marriages within the Kromsteert type show considerable variation across John's long reign.
