| Obverse description | The crowned arms of Öttingen-Spielberg occupy the central field, rendered as a quartered shield with elaborate Baroque detailing. Two rampant lions serve as heraldic supporters, flanking the shield on either side and resting on an ornate scrollwork base. A princely crown surmounts the achievement at the top. The lower portion of the design features decorative acanthus-scroll mantling, and a small star or mintmaster's mark appears at the base of the composition. |
