| Obverse description | Armored bust of Emperor Maximilian I facing left, depicted in high relief in the nascent Renaissance style, wearing a crown and full plate armor. He holds a scepter in his left hand and a sword hilt in his right hand, with his bent left arm extending dynamically into the surrounding legend — a sophisticated compositional device demonstrating the engraver's exceptional skill. The finely modeled portrait captures the Emperor's features with considerable individualism and psychological presence. The field is bordered by a continuous Latin legend. The overall design reflects the transitional moment between late Gothic conventions and the emerging Renaissance aesthetic. |
