| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Archbishop Anselm Casimir Wambolt von Umstadt facing slightly to the right, depicted with short beard and elaborate ecclesiastical armor featuring decorative relief work across the breastplate. The effigy is contained within a raised inner circle, with the Latin legend running along the outer border of the coin. The portrait is rendered in the robust, high-relief style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German hammered gold coinage. |
