| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the interlaced crowned monogram of Duke Frederick Ulrich (F and V conjoined beneath a princely crown), rendered in bold relief. The date A·1624 appears to the left of the monogram within the legend. The surrounding circular legend reads DEO·ET·PATRIÆ with the initials FV, attributing the issue to God and the Fatherland. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German hammered coinage. |
