| Obverse description | Central field displays the episcopal coat of arms of the Bishopric of Breslau, surmounted by a bishop's mitre with pendant lappets, all within a beaded inner circle. The arms incorporate the characteristic quartered shield with the Silesian eagle and Thurzo family devices. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner beaded border, reading the bishop's title and see. The overall style is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German ecclesiastical hammered coinage, with bold relief and slightly uneven flan. |
