| Obverse description | Irregular silver planchet bearing two hand-applied countermarks: a larger circular stamp featuring a crowned letter R, the initial of Johann von Reuschenberg, the commander of the besieged city, accompanied by the date 1610; a smaller secondary stamp displaying the denomination expressed in Roman numerals (IIIII). The stamps are lightly impressed into the raw silver surface, characteristic of emergency siege coinage hastily produced under wartime conditions. |
