| Obverse description | Armored bust of Duke John Frederick I of Württemberg facing right, wearing a cuirass with ornate detailing and a ruffled collar visible at the neck. The hair is shown in loose curls. The peripheral legend runs clockwise around the bust, divided by the portrait, reading the duke's titles in abbreviated Latin. The field is plain silver with a beaded inner border and a toothed outer border characteristic of hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
