| Obverse description | Equestrian figure of Count Robert III of Bethune depicted in full armour, riding to the left upon a caparisoned horse. The count holds aloft a staff or lance bearing a pennant in his right hand, while his left arm displays a shield charged with a rampant lion, the heraldic arms of Flanders. The figure is rendered in the bold, low-relief style typical of Flemish hammered coinage of the early fourteenth century. The equestrian design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend reading + ROBERTVS: COMES: FLADRIE in uncial characters. |
