| Obverse description | Central device consisting of a crowned orb (Reichsapfel) surmounted by a cross, all within a plain field. The orb is rendered with a horizontal band across its centre. The initials F.C.L.M. appear in the legend, likely referencing the abbot's title and the Benedictine Abbey of Corvey. The design is characteristic of small hammered ecclesiastical coinage of the late seventeenth century. |

The composition and layout are typical of small German ecclesiastical issues of the period, with a plain, unadorned field. |
