| Obverse description | Front-facing nimbed bust of Saint Peter in high relief, depicted wearing a three-tiered Papal tiara, set within a polylobe border. The saint holds a book in his right hand and crossed keys in his left, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of late 14th-century Mosan coinage. Below the bust, a shield bearing the arms of Arkel bisects the surrounding Latin legend. The legend, reading in uncial script, runs along the outer margin and identifies the coin as the coinage of Saint Peter. |
