| Obverse description | The count Louis II de Male is depicted enthroned in a Gothic architectural canopy, facing forward, crowned with a circlet of roses. He holds an upright sword in his raised right hand as a symbol of temporal authority, while his left hand rests upon a heraldic shield bearing the arms of Flanders. The throne and canopy are rendered in the ornate Gothic style characteristic of Flemish coinage of the late 14th century. A beaded inner circle frames the enthroned figure, with the peripheral legend running between the inner and outer borders. |
