| Obverse description | The heraldic achievement of the Archbishopric of Mainz occupies the central field, depicting a crowned quartered shield supported on either side by rampant greyhounds serving as heraldic supporters. The electoral crown surmounts the shield at the top. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery within a beaded border, recording the titles of Archbishop John Frederick Charles of Ostein. |
