| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Johann Christian right, wearing a large ruffled lace collar, with curled hair visible above; the effigy rendered in a high-relief baroque style characteristic of early 17th-century Silesian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, naming the duke by title and grace. The legend reads: D · G · IOHA · CHRIST · DVX · SIL, abbreviated for 'Dei Gratia Johannes Christianus Dux Silesiae' (By the grace of God, Johann Christian, Duke of Silesia). The portrait occupies most of the coin's field, with the legend running close to the rim. |
