The Gold Mouton d'Or was struck under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy, particularly Philip the Bold (r. 1363–1404) and his predecessors. The coin comes from a tumultuous period in medieval Europe, characterized by the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) and growing economic and cultural activity in the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg).
The observe features a lamb with a banner, symbolizing the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God), a central Christian iconographic theme. The legend praises God or asserts the divine right of the ruler to issue coinage. It may include phrases like "AGNUS DEI QUI TOLLIS PECCATA MUNDI," meaning "Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world."
The reverse features a cross fleury (a cross with fleurs-de-lis on the ends) with heraldic shields in the quadrants. These shields represented the ruling houses and territories under their control. The legend often includes references to the ruler's title and dominion, emphasizing legitimacy and authority.
