| Obverse description | Full-length facing figure of Saint Peter, patron of Cologne, depicted with nimbus and dressed in episcopal robes, holding a large key in his right hand and a book (the Gospels) in his left, standing on a ground line within an inner circle. The surrounding circumferential legend in Latin reads the abbreviated titles of Anton as Archbishop-Elect of Cologne, separated by rosette stops. The figure is rendered in the robust Germanic Renaissance style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Rhenish coinage. |
