| Obverse description | Central field features the armorial shield of Lorraine — a bend sinister charged with three eaglets — set within a prominent quatrefoil or polylobed frame with beaded inner border. The shield, bearing the characteristic Lorraine arms, is rendered in high relief in the Gothic heraldic style typical of mid-14th century ducal coinage. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by a beaded circle, reads IOhES DVX LOThOR ET mARC, identifying Duke John I of Lorraine and Marquis. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and characteristic flat strike of hammered medieval silver coinage. |
