| Obverse description | Central field displays two curvilinear, interlocking shields arranged side by side within a beaded inner circle, rendered in a late medieval Gothic heraldic style typical of Baltic ecclesiastical coinage. The shields bear the arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat, executed in low relief with characteristic hammered irregularity. A floral or foliate ornamental border frames the inner device, with decorative elements filling the spaces between the legend and the central motif. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters reads DOMI · IOHA · EL · TA, abbreviating Dominus Johannes Elector Darpatensis. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck billon schillings of the Livonian ecclesiastical mints of the early sixteenth century. |
