| Obverse description | Duke Charles of Egmont depicted in full armour on horseback, the steed galloping to the right, the Duke brandishing a raised sword in his right hand. The equestrian figure is rendered in the bold, vigorous style characteristic of late medieval hammered gold coinage. The abbreviation GEL appears in the exergue beneath the horse. The circumferential legend in Gothic lettering reads KAROLVS . DVX * GELR IVL C * 3VT GEL, identifying Charles as Duke of Guelders and Jülich, and Count of Zutphen. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. |
