| Obverse description | Draped bust of Prince-Bishop Frederick Charles of Schönborn facing right, wearing a wig with long curled locks and clerical vestments with lace detail. The effigy is rendered in high relief in a baroque style characteristic of early 18th-century German coinage. The surrounding legend reads FRID. CARL. D.G. EP. BAMB. & HER. B. & R. I. PR. OD., running from lower left around the top of the coin. The border is formed by a fine ring of milled beads. |

Three ornate crests surmount the helm, featuring a cross, a mitre, and heraldic charges, all rendered in fine baroque engraving. The date 1729 appears in the exergue, divided by the shield's base. The encircling legend PRO FIDE ET PATRIA CANDIDE ET CORDATE runs around the upper field, with a beaded border at the rim. |
