| Obverse description | Draped bust of Louis Constantin de Rohan facing right, wearing a clerical skullcap and episcopal vestments adorned with a cross or star at the chest, his hair styled in elaborate curls. A small animal figure (likely a lion passant) appears at the base of the bust truncation. The circular Latin legend reads LUD. CONST. D. G. EPUS ET PPS. ARGENTIAN. AL., identifying him as Bishop and Prince of Strasbourg. The field is smooth and the portrait is rendered in high relief in the baroque manner. |
