| Obverse description | Central field displays the elaborately mantled and helmeted quartered arms of the Manderscheid family set within a decorative cartouche, surmounted by a crested helm adorned with foliate and figural mantling. The escutcheon is divided into multiple quarters bearing the characteristic chevron and other heraldic charges of the Manderscheid dynasty. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, identifying the issuer as Christopher, Count of Manderscheid and Abbot of Stavelot. The overall composition reflects the ornate Renaissance heraldic style typical of mid-sixteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |
