| Obverse description | Vertically divided shield bearing the two-fold arms of Schwarzburg: a fork (rake) charge on the dexter (left) side and the Schwarzburg lion on the sinister (right) side. The date is divided by the shield, with numerals appearing on either side. Above the shield, the initial letter S with a symbol, abbreviating Grafen auf Schwarzburg, identifies the issuing authority. The design is struck in the characteristic crude style of early sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. |
