| Obverse description | Central device depicting a crowned episcopal coat of arms or heraldic emblem, rendered in the crude hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The design features a crowned shield surmounted by a bishop's mitre or crown, with a cross or staff element visible below, set within a plain field. The overall strike is weak and irregular, consistent with emergency copper coinage of the Kipper und Wipper period. A dotted border or inner circle frames the central device. The coin exhibits heavy verdigris patination over the copper flan, obscuring fine detail. |
