| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered armorial shield of the Abbey of Corvey, surmounted by a princely crown topped with a cross. The shield is supported by ornate foliate mantling on either side. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire design within a milled border, reading THEODOR D.G.A.C.S.R.I.P., identifying Theodore of Brabeck as Abbot and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The overall composition reflects the ecclesiastical and imperial dignity of the issuing authority. |
