Obverse description	Central device comprising a large quartered heraldic shield surmounted by an open crown, the quarters displaying the arms of Bohemia (rampant lion) and the Empire, all set within a quadrilobe frame. The shield and quadrilobe occupy the majority of the field in a bold Gothic style typical of mid-14th-century Luxembourgian coinage. A circular outer legend in Gothic uncial script runs along the coin's periphery, separated from the central design by a beaded inner circle. The overall composition is characteristic of the high medieval plaque type, emphasizing dynastic heraldry.
