| Obverse description | The quartered arms of Burgundy occupy the central field, rendered in a bold, stylized heraldic manner characteristic of Flemish late-medieval billon coinage. The shield displays the composite dynastic arms of Charles the Bold, including the quarterly arrangement of France ancient and Burgundy modern. The device is set within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend running between two concentric circles of beads. The die-cutting is angular and vigorous, reflecting the hammered technique of the period. |
