| Obverse description | Two facing draped busts of John Philip I and Frederick VIII confronted at center, with heraldic shields flanking the figures at left and right. A mintmaster's symbol appears at the top between the two busts. The encircling Latin legend reads DEI GRA IOHAN PHILIP and FRID, identifying the two co-ruling dukes by name and invoking divine grace. The portrait style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German Renaissance die-engraving, with fine detail in the hair and collar ruffs. |
