| Obverse description | Central ornate oval shield bearing the quartered coat of arms of Prince-Elector Ferdinand of Bavaria, surmounted by an electoral princely crown. A crosier and sword are placed saltirewise behind the shield, denoting the bishop's dual ecclesiastical and secular authority. The armorial composition is rendered in high relief with elaborate baroque decorative mantling framing the escutcheon. The circumferential legend in Latin runs along the outer border of the coin. |
