| Obverse description | Central field dominated by four interlaced crowned ducal monograms of John Ernest IV arranged in cruciform pattern, their elaborate calligraphic flourishes radiating symmetrically from a central point. Each monogram bears a small crown above, creating a decorative cross-like composition that fills the coin's field. The peripheral legend is divided by the cruciform arrangement, with abbreviated titulature reading in Latin distributed around the design. The overall style is characteristic of early eighteenth-century German baroque engraving, with densely interwoven letterforms typical of the period. |
