| Obverse description | Central field depicts the heraldic monogram 'H' of Hainaut superimposed over a displayed eagle with spread wings. The device is encircled by a continuous Latin legend, itself framed by an ornamental border composed of thirteen fleurs-de-lis, each set within individual circles. The overall design reflects the Gothic decorative conventions typical of mid-14th-century Flemish and Hainautian coinage. The eagle motif serves as a dynastic symbol closely associated with the Avesnes comital house. |
