| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar, encircled by an ornate wreath of floral and foliate sprays rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style. The shield bears the quartered Saxon arms with the distinctive barry field and rampant lion. Surrounding the central device, a circular Latin legend reads D G WILHELM DVX SAX LW C ET MO, identifying Duke Wilhelm IV of Saxe-Weimar by his titles. The legend is separated from the inner wreath by a fine beaded border, and the coin's edge is plain, consistent with hammered gold coinage of the period. |
