Obverse description A stag standing to the left is depicted in the central field, positioned before a tall column surmounted by a helmet, referencing the mining heritage of the Stolberg counts. The word WERCK appears in the exergue, forming the terminal element of the surrounding religious legend. The circumferential legend in Latin script reads GOTT SEEGNE U. ERHALTE UNSERE BERG., invoking divine blessing upon the mining works. The coin's border is defined by a fine inner toothed or beaded rim. The overall design reflects the Baroque emblematic tradition common to German territorial coinage of the early eighteenth century.
