| Obverse description | Two facing busts of the co-ruling princes Johann Christian and Johann Seyfried of Eggenberg depicted side by side in high relief, each shown in draped armor with elaborate lace collars, their portraits facing one another at center. The busts are enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A Latin legend encircles the effigies along the outer border, identifying the two rulers by name and title. The date 1654 appears in the lower field between the two busts. The overall style is characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Central European medallic portraiture. |
