| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Mömpelgard (Montbéliard), with the denomination numeral 'I' appearing to the left and right of the shield in the field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, rendering the titles of Ludwig Friedrich (Louis Frederick), Count of Württemberg-Mömpelgard. The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage from the region. |

The denomination numeral 'I' appears to the left and right of the central monogram in the field. The date 1622 is distributed around the design within the outer border. The composition and use of fleurs-de-lis reflect the county's heraldic and dynastic associations. |
