| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborate quartered arms of Mansfeld, surmounted by a crowned helmet with ornate mantling and multiple crests including a cross-staff finial; the shield displays the characteristic barry and lozenge divisions of the Mansfeld comital house and is supported by decorative scrollwork. The circumferential legend in Latin reads CHRISTOPHORVS:COM:E:DOMI:I:MANS:, identifying Count Christoph II as lord of Mansfeld. The overall design is executed in the robust, high-relief Germanic hammered style typical of late sixteenth-century Rhenish-Saxon coinage. |
