| Obverse description | Central field displays two heraldic shields side by side beneath the Gothic inscription FLADRES: the dexter shield bearing the quarterly arms of Burgundy (ancient and modern France) impaled with Brabant, and the sinister shield bearing the lion rampant of Flanders. A small cross pattée appears above the shields as a central ornament. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend in Gothic uncial characters running along the outer border between two beaded rims. The die work is characteristic of late 14th-century Flemish hammered billon coinage, with bold relief lettering and well-defined heraldic detail. |
