| Obverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by an ornate Gothic canopy or baldachin, the arms rendered in low relief consistent with mid-15th-century Low Countries hammered coinage. The shield is divided into four quarters bearing heraldic charges characteristic of the lordships of Gerdingen and Stein. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially legible, reading ✠ PhS` D [ ] Dn`, abbreviated for Philip, by the grace of God, Lord. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the rim, typical of hand-hammered copper coinage of this period. |
