| Obverse description | Central field bearing the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Minden surmounted by a bishop's mitre, the shield displaying the characteristic cross of Minden. The armorial device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin episcopal legend running along the outer periphery: HERM: D: G: EPIS: MINDEN: ADM: VERD: 1579, referencing Bishop Hermann of Schaumburg as Bishop of Minden and Administrator of Verden. The overall style is characteristic of late sixteenth-century north German hammered ecclesiastical coinage. |
