| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Philip Gotthard von Schaffgotsch facing right, wearing ecclesiastical robes with a pectoral cross visible at the base of the neck, his hair dressed in flowing baroque curls. The portrait is executed in high relief with fine detail characteristic of mid-18th century German ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading PHIL GOTTHARD D G PR DE SCHAFFGOTSCH, separated by pellet stops. The field is smooth and slightly convex, framed by a finely beaded inner border. |
