| Obverse description | Saint Maurice depicted as an armored knight galloping to the left on horseback, his cloak billowing dramatically behind him, bearing a long lance or standard in his raised right hand. The figure is rendered in high relief in the bold, energetic style characteristic of late medieval hammered gold coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery within a second beaded border. |
