| Obverse description | Central field depicts a rampant lion passant to the left, representing the heraldic arms of the Duchy of Gelre, rendered in the crude, high-relief style characteristic of 13th-century hammered medieval coinage. The lion's body is boldly modeled with outstretched forelegs. The surrounding circular legend reads ✠ OTTO COMES, identifying the issuer as Otto, Count of Guelders. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, as is typical for pennies of this period. |
