| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Cardinal Joseph Dominicus of Lamberg, Bishop of Passau, rendered in high relief in the Baroque manner. The subject is depicted wearing ecclesiastical robes with a pectoral cross suspended on a chain at the lower right. The hair is styled in loose curls falling to the shoulder, consistent with mid-18th-century aristocratic convention. A circular Latin legend surrounding the effigy reads IOS • DOMINIC • CARDINAL • DE • LAMBERG, interrupted by the truncation of the bust at lower left and right. The finely milled border frames the design with a prominent toothed rim. |
