| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered Hohenzollern arms, consisting of a quarterly shield bearing the characteristic Hohenzollern semy of roundels in the first and fourth quarters and the sceptre device in the second and third quarters, all rendered in low relief typical of hammered bracteate coinage. The letter 'Z' appears prominently above the shield, serving as an initial for 'Zollern', the dynastic designation. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with a beaded border surrounding the central device, consistent with the Schüsselpfennig type characterized by its concave, dish-shaped profile. The overall style reflects the modest production standards of early seventeenth-century south German minor coinage. |
