| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Jean the Blind, Count of Luxembourg and King of Bohemia, crowned and robed, standing beneath an elaborate Gothic canopy of pinnacles and crocketed arches. The figure is draped in a long mantle and holds a sceptre in the right hand, rendered in high relief in the Gothic figural style characteristic of early 14th-century coinage. The architectural canopy, with its flanking turrets and tracery, occupies the full height of the coin's field. The circumferential legend in uncial Latin reads IOH` S REX BOEMOR`, identifying the issuer as Jean (the Blind), King of Bohemia. |
