| Obverse description | Ornate shield of the Hildesheim bishopric arms, surmounted by an elaborate crested helmet with mantling; the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child appears above the achievement, serving as the arms' crest. The date is incorporated into the surrounding Latin legend. The composition reflects the Sede Vacante status of the see, with heraldic elements rendered in a high-relief baroque style. |
