| Obverse description | Quartered shield of arms surmounted by a princely crown, flanked by elaborate foliate mantling. The dexter half of the shield bears a chequered or latticed pattern representing the arms of Fulda Abbey, while the sinister half displays the personal arms of Amand von Buseck featuring scattered roundels. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of German ecclesiastical coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. No legend is present on this face. |
