| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered arms of the County of Stolberg, featuring the distinctive Stolberg stag's antlers combined with other heraldic elements of the ruling house, all rendered in relief typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. The shield is elaborately detailed and occupies the majority of the coin's face. A continuous circular legend in Latin surrounds the armorial device, naming the co-ruling counts Henry XXII and Wolfgang George. The lettering is separated by pellet stops and is struck in the characteristic Gothic-influenced style of the period. The overall design reflects the joint sovereignty of the two counts over the Stolberg territories. |
