| Obverse description | Draped bust of Prince-Bishop Francis Louis of Erthal facing right, with powdered wig, wearing ecclesiastical robes adorned with a prominent pectoral cross. The portrait is rendered in high relief in a refined baroque style. The encircling legend reads FRANC • LUD • D • G • EP • BAR • ET WIR • S • R • I • P • F • O • DUX •, abbreviated titles identifying him as Bishop of Bamberg and Würzburg, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The engraver's initials Rf appear in the lower field beneath the bust truncation. The coin's milled border frames the composition cleanly. |
