Obverse description Central field features the Teutonic Order's heraldic shield bearing a plain cross pattée, set within an ornately scrolled cartouche or mantling. The abbreviation '. T . O .' (Teutonischer Orden) appears as a legend in the upper field above the shield, rendered in capital Latin letters with separating dots. The coin is framed by a continuous beaded border running along the entire circumference. The overall design is bold and simply composed, consistent with the hammered coinage style of the early seventeenth century.
