| Obverse description | Crowned nine-fold quartered shield of arms, displaying the combined heraldic bearings of the Anhalt ruling princes, enclosed within a decorative laurel wreath. Mint-master's initials 'C' and 'F' appear in the field to either side of the shield. The royal crown above the arms is rendered in high relief, and the overall composition reflects the baroque heraldic style typical of late 17th-century German coinage. |
