The obverse features a shield bearing the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg - a two tailed lion rampant on a striped background, below a crown within a central ring.

The star is flanked by the Privy Marks for the Utrecht mint, a sword on the left and a caduceus to the right. The caduceus is illegible on this example.
