| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Charles Ferdinand Vasa facing right, depicted in clerical attire with a collar, his hair falling to the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of Silesian klippe coinage of the early 17th century. The portrait is set within a beaded inner border. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads CAR FERDINAND D G PR POL ET SVEC, identifying the issuer as a prince of Poland and Sweden. |
