| Obverse description | Facing crowned effigy of Count John II of Avesnes, depicted with a stylized frontal bust and floral crown of roses, rendered in the bold, somewhat crude relief characteristic of late 13th-century Low Countries sterlings. The effigy is set within a beaded inner circle, with the head occupying the central field. A cross pattee divides the outer legend into four sections, its arms extending to the beaded border. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by double saltire stops, reads: ✠⁑ I ⁑ COMЄS ⁑ hAyONIЄ (John, Count of Hainaut). |
