| Obverse description | Crowned shield of Trier charged with the Orsbeck family arms, depicting crossed keys, centered within a wreath of laurel branches. The escutcheon is surmounted by an electoral bonnet or coronet, and the entire design is enclosed by a beaded border. The mintmaster's initials appear in the field. The overall style is characteristic of late 17th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |
