| Obverse description | Draped bust of Prince Rudolph of Anhalt facing right, depicted in early 17th-century aristocratic attire with an elaborate ruff collar and mantle, rendered in high relief in the hammered style. The portrait is set within a raised inner circle, with the surrounding field bearing the circular Latin legend identifying the prince by his full titles. The motto MEMENTO MORI appears prominently in the field adjacent to the bust, serving as the thematic centerpiece of this funerary commemorative issue. The legend begins at the upper right and continues around the full circumference, reading: RVDOLPHVS DG PRIN ANHAL COM ASCA SERVEST ET BERN B MEMENTO MORI. The coin displays characteristic hammered surfaces with natural flow lines and a pleasing silver tone. |
