| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing draped and armored bust of Emperor Charles V, turned slightly to the right, wearing an imperial crown, set within a beaded inner circle. The effigy is rendered in a bold, high-relief style typical of early seventeenth-century German billon coinage. The Latin legend surrounding the bust reads CAROLVS V ROMAN IMPER, identifying the subject as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. |
