| Obverse description | Armored bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland, facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and draped pauldron, depicted in a restrained early Baroque style. The portrait is set within a plain inner circle, with the bust occupying the central field. The surrounding circumferential legend reads ALBERTVS . DG (*) DUX . FRIDLAN *, divided by small ornamental stops, with the issuer's title rendered in Latin abbreviation. The overall engraving is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century, with some softness in detail consistent with the striking technique. |
