The shield is surmounted by an electoral bonnet bearing a cross finial. The date 1697 is divided by the lower scrollwork, with the digits appearing at the left and right sides of the cartouche. The encircling Latin legend reads ERN AUGUST D G BR & L S R I ELECT EP O, denoting Ernest August's titles as Elector of the Holy Roman Empire and Bishop of Osnabrück. |
