| Obverse description | Divided shield bearing the combined arms of Horn and Kessenich: dexter half displaying three hunting horns (the ancestral arms of Horn), sinister half bearing a lion rampant to the left. A five-pointed star appears above the shield. The surrounding legend in uncial characters reads IOhAnS : DNS : DE : KES, identifying the issuer as John, Lord of Kessenich. The design is characteristic of late medieval Low Countries hammered coinage, with the heraldic composition centrally placed in the field. |
