| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Agnus Dei (Paschal Lamb) advances to the left within a beaded inner circle, nimbus surrounding its head, which is turned back to the right. A long cross-tipped staff bearing a banner is carried behind the lamb, with the ducal legend WEN DVX inscribed in the field beneath its feet. The inner circle is further embellished with decorative arcs forming a Gothic polylobe frame, all enclosed within the outer legend circle. The design follows the established French mouton d'or tradition adapted for the Duchy of Brabant under the joint rule of Joanna and Wenceslas. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The mouton d'or type originated with the French royal coinage of Philippe V around 1311 and was widely imitated across the Low Countries throughout the fourteenth century — a deliberate act of monetary prestige borrowing, not independent design. Joanna and Wenceslas adopted the type for Brabant during a period when the duchy was navigating the commercial rivalries between English wool merchants and Flemish textile interests, and a recognizable gold coinage mattered for cross-border trade credibility.
Wenceslas of Luxembourg brought his own dynastic weight to the joint rule, having governed Brabant alongside Joanna from 1355 until his death in 1383. The Franco-Burgundian monetary orbit this coin inhabits makes Delmonte's classification essential for distinguishing Brabantine strikes from the crowded field of regional imitators.
