| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered arms of Hohnstein surmounted by a crested helmet with elaborate mantling. The shield is divided into four quarters bearing the heraldic devices of the county, including a lion passant and horizontal barry stripes, reflecting the composite territorial claims of the three co-ruling counts. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running continuously around the outer border naming the three joint rulers: Volkmar Wolfgang, Eberwein, and Ernest. |
