| Obverse description | Crowned episcopal bust of Bishop Johannes IV facing right, rendered in a crude hammered style typical of late medieval Baltic ecclesiastical coinage. The crowned effigy occupies the central field, surrounded by a circular legend in uncial Latin characters. The portraiture is schematic and stylized, consistent with the artistic conventions of early sixteenth-century Livonian mint production. |
