| Obverse description | Quartered coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne and the Duchy of Bavaria, displaying the Cologne cross in two quarters and the Bavarian lozengy pattern in the remaining two quarters. A small crowned escutcheon, likely bearing the personal arms of Ernest of Bavaria, is positioned in the upper-left canton. The shield is surrounded by a beaded inner circle, with a further ring of evenly spaced pellets forming a decorative border around the coin's field. The letter 'C' appears above the shield as an initial mark. The piece is struck on an irregular flan, typical of hammered coinage of this period. |
