| Obverse description | Central field displays a large crowned coat of arms combining the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Münster and the Bavarian lozengy shield, with a small escutcheon at the base incorporating the denomination numeral 14, indicating the coin's value as a 1/14 Thaler. The shield is surmounted by an electoral hat. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the arms, reading FERD ELE COEP MO BA DV 14, abbreviating the titles of Ferdinand of Bavaria as Elector, Bishop of Cologne, Administrator of Münster, Duke of Bavaria. The coin is struck in the hammered technique typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical issues. |
