| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a rampant lion passant to the right, its forepaw raised and tail curled, representing the heraldic lion of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege; the lion holds a sword upright in its dexter paw and a shield bearing the lozengy arms of Bavaria in its sinister. The design is executed in bold relief in the hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century Low Countries coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the circumferential Latin legend reading FERDINANDVS DEI G ARCHI COL PRINC ELEC distributed around the periphery, identifying Ferdinand of Bavaria as Archbishop of Cologne and Prince Elector. |
