| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a large, elaborately quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of the Bishopric of Worms and the personal arms of Bishop George of Schönenberg Neu-Leiningen, surmounted by a bishop's mitre and flanked by ornate Renaissance-style mantling. The shield is divided into multiple quarters bearing various charges including crosses and other heraldic devices rendered in fine relief. A circular legend surrounds the entire design reading GEORGIVS D G EPS WORMATI, identifying the bishop by name and title. The overall composition reflects the high-quality Germanic Renaissance die-engraving style characteristic of late sixteenth-century ecclesiastical coinage. |
