| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a quartered heraldic shield displaying the combined arms of the Imperial Abbeys of Murbach and Lüders, supported on either side by rampant bears as shield-bearers. The shield is surmounted by an abbatial mitre with lappets. The whole composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend reading +IOES+RDV.D.G.MVRBAC+ET.LVTREN+AB, identifying Abbot John Rudolph by the grace of God of Murbach and Lüders. The engraving reflects the characteristic bold relief style of 16th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |
