| Obverse description | Draped bust of Archbishop Emerich Joseph of Breitbach-Bürresheim facing right, wearing ecclesiastical vestments and a clerical collar, with powdered wig. The surrounding legend reads EMERIC IOSEPH D G A EP MOG S RI P G AC P ET PW, identifying him as Archbishop-Elector of Mainz and associated dignities. The legend is separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in a formal baroque style typical of late 18th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |
