Obverse description Central field depicts the scene of the conversion of Saint Paul on the road to Damascus: the fallen figure of Saul is shown prostrate on the ground before a rearing horse, rendered in a bold hammered style characteristic of late 16th-century Westphalian coinage. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, in Latin, reads: SAVLE. SAVLE. QVID. ME. PERSEQVE., a direct quotation from Acts 9:4 ('Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?'), referencing the patron saint of the Münster Cathedral chapter.
