| Obverse description | Two adjacent heraldic shields suspended from a looped hanger. The left shield displays the two-fold arms of Anhalt, while the right shield bears the Aschersleben arms featuring a bear upon a wall. A stylized lily ornament appears in the lower field below the shields. The design is executed in the characteristic compact style of early sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. |
