| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the arms of Erfurt: a wheel device enclosed within a beaded inner circle, the whole surrounded by a peripheral Latin legend reading · ERFORTENSIVM · followed by the date, rendered with the characteristic Kipper-period substitution of 'Z' for '2'. The design is executed in a crude hammered style typical of the inflationary Kipper und Wipper coinage of the early 1620s. The legends and devices are somewhat weakly struck and irregularly centered, consistent with the hasty production methods of the period. |
