| Obverse description | Three armored half-length busts of the co-ruling dukes George III, Ludwig IV, and Christian facing forward, depicted in contemporary 17th-century plate armor with sashes, their long hair falling to the shoulders in the fashion of the period. A decorative cartouche or floral ornament appears below the busts at the base. The circular legend surrounding the effigies reads D:G·GEORGIVS·LVDOVICVS·ET·CHRISTIANVS·FRAT:, with a globus cruciger dividing the inscription at the top of the field. The coin exhibits fine relief engraving characteristic of Silesian minting of the mid-17th century, with an inner beaded border separating the portrait group from the outer legend. |
