| Obverse description | Square klippe flan with a rope-twist border framing the central design. The quartered coat of arms of Saxony occupies the central field, displaying the traditional Saxon barry and rautenkranz divisions. The initials H I F G R are struck in Latin characters above the shield, referencing Herzog Johann Friedrich Graf zu Ratzeburg, while the date 1567 is distributed around the shield, split vertically on either side. The entire design is executed in the bold, utilitarian style characteristic of siege emergency coinage. |
