Beschrijving voorzijde Full-length armored effigy of Maximilian III, Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, standing facing, clad in plate armor over a long mantle, holding a drawn sword point-down in his right hand. To the left stands an elaborate crested helmet surmounted by a sheaf of wheat, while to the right a rampant lion supports a heraldic shield. The circular Latin legend reads around the periphery within a beaded border, identifying the issuer by his full titles.

Aanvullende informatie

The Teutonic Order's coinage authority in this period rested with Archduke Maximilian III of Austria, who served as Grand Master from 1590 until his death in 1618. The Order's Mergentheim mint produced multiple die marriages for this type, and the "lion and helmet swapped" designation refers to a known positional die variety in which the armorial elements appear on opposite sides from the standard arrangement — a product of the engraver preparing two obverse punches that were interchangeable in the press. It is a minting anomaly, not a deliberate redesign.
