| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large ornate interlaced cipher composed of the initials 'LR' (for Louis Rudolph), elaborately rendered in Baroque calligraphic style with foliate scrollwork and flourishes. The monogram fills virtually the entire coin face and is executed with fine engraving detail. The coin is bordered by a milled or beaded inner rim that frames the design neatly against the plain field. |
