| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Francis Louis of Erthal, Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and Bamberg, rendered in high relief with finely detailed ecclesiastical vestments including an ornate lace cravat and fur-trimmed mantle. The subject wears a powdered, curled wig characteristic of late 18th-century aristocratic portraiture. The circular Latin legend surrounding the effigy reads FRANC • LUDOV • D • G • EP • BAMB • ET • WIRC • S • R • I • PR • FR • OR • DUX •, denoting his full episcopal and princely titles. The engraver's initials appear in the lower field. The coin exhibits fine proof surfaces with sharply defined portrait detail consistent with a presentation strike. |
