| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of Frederick V, Elector Palatine and King of Bohemia, facing right, wearing a ruff collar and mantle with visible armor detail. The effigy is rendered in a robust, late Renaissance style characteristic of Bohemian hammered coinage of the early 17th century. The denomination numeral 24 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading the king's royal titles, interrupted by the bust at the base. |
