| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the Bamberg arms, surmounted by a pointed decorative finial and enclosed within a trilobe frame with pointed cusps. The shield displays a quartered or divided coat of arms in relief, typical of episcopal Bamberg heraldic conventions. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the surrounding circular legend. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered silver coinage. |
