| Obverse description | An ermine (the heraldic animal) passant to the left occupies the central field, with a smaller ermine charge displayed above it. The design is executed in the medieval hammered style typical of late 15th-century Breton coinage, with the ermine serving as the principal dynastic emblem of the Duchy of Brittany. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading: + : AnnA : BRITA[O] : DUCISSA :, identifying Anne as Duchess of the Bretons. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |
