| Obverse description | Divided shield bearing, on the left, the wheel of Mainz (a spoked wheel with six spokes, symbolizing the Archbishop of Mainz's suzerainty over Erfurt) and, on the right, the striped arms of Erfurt (three vertical bars). The date numerals appear divided above the shield, split across the upper left and upper right fields. A small mintmaster's mark or initial appears at the base of the design. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and bold, if somewhat crude, die work typical of early seventeenth-century German hammered pfennigs. |
