| Obverse description | Central shield charged with three lozenges arranged two-and-one, surmounted by a mural crown, flanked by two rampant lions as supporters each holding a staff with a pennant. The design fills the field with no legend; the rim is plain. This represents the arms of Jean-Jacques de Brouckhoven. |
