Obverse description Armored equestrian figure of Count John Frederick I riding left, depicted in full gallop above a terrestrial globe that divides the date 16-99, all within a beaded inner circle. The composition conveys martial authority in the Baroque style typical of late 17th-century German princely coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, identifying the issuer by name and title.
