| Obverse description | Central field features the arms of the Bishopric of Utrecht and the House of Baden, each shield tilted and leaning toward one another beneath an ornate tournament helmet, the whole enclosed within a beaded or reeded inner circle. The composition is arranged in a heraldic display typical of late medieval ecclesiastical coinage. A circumferential legend in Gothic uncial script encircles the design, reading MONE' FREDERICI EPI TRAIECTENSIS, identifying the issuer as Frederick, Bishop of Utrecht. The overall style reflects the hammered silver coinage tradition of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century Low Countries. |
