| Obverse description | Facing busts of the two co-ruling brothers, Henry Wenceslaus (left) and Charles Frederick I (right), each depicted in half-length, wearing elaborately engraved armour with ruffled collars, their effigies turned inward to face one another at centre. The date 1621 appears in the lower field between the two figures. The surrounding Latin legend, divided by the busts, reads: D G HEINRI WENC ET CAROL FRIDE FRAT, separated by a beaded inner border from the coin's edge. |
