| Obverse description | A fleur-de-lis occupies the center of the coin field, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. The motif is enclosed within a plain inner circle, beyond which runs the circular Latin legend. The surrounding field shows the characteristic irregular planchet edge typical of this denomination. |
