| Obverse description | Central field features an alerion (an eagle displayed without beak or feet), the heraldic emblem of Lorraine, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads ANTHON.D.G.LOTO, referencing Duke Anthony of Lorraine by divine grace. The flan is irregularly shaped, typical of hammered medieval billon coinage. The relief is moderately flat with details worn consistent with circulation use. |
