| Obverse description | Half-length armored bust of Duke Erich III facing right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with a prominent ruff collar and a tall crowned hat. The figure holds a sword or baton in the right hand, with the gauntleted left hand visible at the lower field. The bust is rendered in the Renaissance portrait style typical of mid-16th century German coinage, with fine detail in the armor's decorative elements. The Latin legend surrounds the effigy within a beaded inner border, reading VON. GOT. GNA. ERICH. HERTZ. ZW. BRVN. VN. LV., abbreviating the duke's title by the Grace of God. |
