| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Johann Konrad II von Reinach-Hirzbach facing right, wearing a long curled wig and ecclesiastical vestments with a pectoral cross visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in a fine Baroque style, likely the work of engraver Johann Karl von Hedlinger. A circular Latin legend runs along the upper periphery, interrupted by the portrait. The rim is bordered by a milled edge with a fine beaded inner border. |
