| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of John the Blind, Count of Luxembourg and King of Bohemia, depicted in a stylized Gothic manner within a central roundel enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The bust shows the ruler wearing a crown with fleurs, with drapery visible at the shoulders. The surrounding field carries the circular legend in uncial Latin characters identifying the issuer as John, Lord and King of Bohemia. The overall style is characteristic of 14th-century Low Countries sterlings, with bold, somewhat schematic facial features typical of hammered coinage of the period. |
