| Obverse description | Enthroned frontal figure of Archbishop Johannes III of Rode, depicted in full ecclesiastical vestments with nimbus, seated on an ornate throne flanked by architectural elements representing city towers or gate structures. The archbishop raises his right hand in benediction and holds a crozier or scepter in his left hand. A decorative gothic letter 'M' appears prominently in the lower field, likely referencing the mint or a Marian dedication. The entire design is executed in the late medieval Gothic style characteristic of Lower Saxon ecclesiastical coinage, with fine drapery detail and a beaded inner border surrounding the composition. |
