| Obverse description | Draped and armoured bust of Count Johann Ehrenreich of Sprinzenstein facing right, wearing a long flowing wig in the baroque manner. The effigy is rendered in high relief within a circular medallion set into the square klippe flan. The encircling Latin legend identifies the subject as Count and Lord of the Holy Roman Empire. The portrait exhibits the refined engraving style characteristic of Philipp Heinrich Müller, with fine detailing on the armour and lace cravat. |

Elaborate baroque scrollwork and foliate mantling surround the shield.
