| Obverse description | Central field displays an ornate crested tournament helmet surmounting the armorial shield of Bishop Frederik van Blankenheim, the shield charged with a rampant lion. The helmet is crowned with elaborate mantling or lambrequins flowing to either side, rendered in the Gothic decorative style characteristic of late 14th-century episcopal coinage. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the episcopal legend running in uncial characters in the surrounding outer ring. The overall design reflects the heraldic conventions of Netherlandish ecclesiastical numismatics of the period. |
