| Obverse description | Facing mitered bust of Bishop John of Arkel, set within a beaded inner circle bordered by eleven stylized leaves alternating with the Arkel coat of arms. The episcopal effigy is rendered in the Gothic style typical of Liège ecclesiastical coinage. The legend is divided by the bust and punctuated by rosette stops. The overall composition reflects the hierarchical iconography of the Prince-Bishopric, emphasizing both clerical authority and dynastic identity. |
