| Obverse description | Central field features a quartered shield of arms combining the arms of Brandenburg and Sayn, surmounted by an elaborate crowned baroque cartouche with ornate scrollwork and foliate mantling extending into the lower field. The peripheral legend, rendered in Latin abbreviation, encircles the entire design and reads: CAR. GVIL. FR. D. G. M. BR. D. P. C. S. ETW, identifying the issuing count Carl Wilhelm Friedrich by name and title. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-18th century German territorial coinage, with the heraldic device occupying the majority of the coin's face. |
