| Obverse description | Half-length effigy of Duke Albert VII facing three-quarters to the left, depicted in contemporary Renaissance dress with visible drapery and a bearded portrait. The figure is contained within an inner beaded circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The portrait style is characteristic of early 16th-century German hammered coinage, rendered with modest but recognizable detail. |

The Latin monetary legend is distributed in the quarters around the cross. |
