| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the elaborate crowned cypher of Archbishop Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein, formed by intertwined initials beneath an electoral crown surmounted by a cross. Crossed behind the monogram are the two symbols of archiepiscopal authority: a sword (representing temporal power) and a crozier (representing spiritual power). The design is unaccompanied by any peripheral legend, leaving the milled border visible around the plain field. |
