| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke John Frederick of Württemberg facing right, depicted with curly hair and armored shoulders adorned with a decorative clasp. The effigy fills the central field in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German coinage. A continuous Latin legend encircles the bust along the periphery, reading the duke's name and titles. |
