| Obverse description | The obverse presents a large quartered coat of arms of the Counts of Stolberg, surmounted by multiple crested helms with elaborate mantling in the late Renaissance heraldic style. The multi-quartered shield displays the armorial bearings of Stolberg, Königstein, Wernigerode, and Hohenstein, incorporating a lion, chevrons, a cross, and further heraldic charges. Three ornate crests rise above the shield, the central one bearing a crowned helm. The surrounding peripheral legend in Latin, separated by stops, names all six ruling counts: LUDOVICUS. HENRICUS. ALBERTUS. GEORGIUS. CHRISTOPHORUS. WOLFF. ERNESTUS. COMITES. IN. STOLBERG. KÖNIGSTEIN. WERNIGERODE. ET. HOHENSTEIN. |
