| Obverse description | Draped bust of Abbot Placidus von Droste facing right, wearing a clerical cape adorned with an ornate cross pectoral, with long curled hair falling to the shoulders. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine baroque detail, set within a beaded inner border. The circumferential Latin legend runs continuously around the bust, identifying the abbot by his titles as Prince-Abbot of Fulda and Primate of Germany and Gaul. |
