| Obverse description | Bust of Philip the Handsome facing right, rendered in a late-medieval hammered style typical of Low Countries coinage of the late 15th century. The portrait occupies the central field, showing the ruler with characteristic period dress. A circular Latin legend in uncial characters surrounds the effigy, reading MON' DVCIS GELRIE ET COMIT' ZVT, denoting his authority as Duke of Gelderland and Count of Zutphen. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |
