| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered heraldic shield of Ferdinand of Bavaria as Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and Prince-Abbot of Stavelot-Malmedy, surmounted by an elaborate electoral bonnet or crown. The escutcheon displays the multiple quarterings associated with the Wittelsbach dynasty and the ecclesiastical territories under Ferdinand's authority. The shield is rendered in the hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading FERDINAN · ELEC · COL · PRIN · ST, identifying Ferdinand as Elector of Cologne and Prince of Stavelot. The coin's flan is irregular with a beaded inner border. |
