| Obverse description | Central field displays the Palatinate arms — an orb or crowned heraldic device — rendered in a bold, stylised manner characteristic of mid-16th-century hammered coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded or pelleted inner border that follows the irregular flan shape. Above the central device, the initial letter 'F' appears prominently in the upper field, denoting Elector Frederick III. The overall execution is typical of small-denomination billon coinage of the Electoral Palatinate, with somewhat crude but intentional die work. |
