| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of the Bishopric of Fulda — a quartered shield surmounted by a bishop's mitre and cross — flanked on either side by elaborate foliate or palm-branch supports. A small mintmaster's mark appears at the base of the design. The circular Latin legend AD NORMAM CONVENTION curves around the periphery, referencing the Conventionsthaler monetary standard adopted by the Holy Roman Empire. |
