| Obverse description | Quartered shield displaying the arms of Eppstein (a lion rampant to the left) and Königstein (chevron), struck in hammered silver with irregular flan typical of early 16th-century German pfennig coinage. The date appears above the shield in Gothic numerals. The fields surrounding the shield are plain, and the overall strike reflects the hand-crafted quality characteristic of small Renaissance-era German territorial coinage. |
