| Obverse description | John III of Bavaria depicted enthroned facing, crowned and robed, seated beneath an elaborate Gothic architectural canopy with pinnacles and tracery. The count holds a sceptre in his right hand; to his left, a shield bearing the rampant lion of Holland is prominently displayed. The Roman numeral IIII appears in the lower exergue, and the surrounding Gothic legend, separated by annulets, identifies the issuer as John of Bavaria, son of the Duke and Count of Holland and Zeeland. The design follows the established Franco-Flemish chaise d'or tradition, rendered in the fine hammered style typical of early fifteenth-century Low Countries gold coinage. |
