| Obverse description | Central field features a displayed eagle with wings spread, rendered in the Gothic heraldic style typical of late 14th-century Lotharingian coinage. The eagle stands above a shield bearing the arms of Lorraine, consisting of a bend charged with alérions. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the ducal arms prominently positioned in the lower central field beneath the eagle. The entire composition is characteristic of the hammered coinage issued under John I, Duke of Lorraine, combining dynastic heraldry with the imperial eagle motif. |
