| Obverse description | Central field displays the rampant crowned lion of Bohemia within a beaded or plain inner circle, serving as the primary heraldic device. The regnal initials of Emperor Leopold I appear above the lion, while the two-digit or four-digit date is inscribed vertically to the right of the lion. The mint-master's initials (GE, for Georg Egerer) appear below the lion as a mint mark. The design is characteristic of the small hammered schüsselförmig (bracteate-style uniface) coinage issued for Bohemia during Leopold I's reign, executed with the modest artistry typical of low-denomination circulating issues of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. |
