| Obverse description | Elaborately rendered baroque coat of arms of Bishop Johann Anton II von Freyberg, the quartered shield bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Eichstätt impaled with the personal arms of the Freyberg family, all set within ornate rococo cartouche with scrolling acanthus mantling. Above the shield rises a bishop's mitre flanked by a crozier to the left and a sword to the right, surmounted by a princely crown. The encircling Latin legend reads IOAN.ANT.II.D.G.EPISC.EYST.S.R.I.P, separated by ornamental stops. A toothed or reeded border frames the entire design. |
