Obverse description A stylized Florentine lily (giglio) occupies the central field, rendered in the Gothic manner characteristic of 14th-century imitative florins. A peripheral legend in uncial Latin script encircles the device, commencing at approximately 1 o'clock beneath a crown that serves as the legend's initial marker. The lettering reads IOh` ES R BOEH, abbreviating the name and title of Jean the Blind, Count of Luxembourg and King of Bohemia. The overall design closely follows the Florentine florin prototype established by the Republic of Florence.
