| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Johann Konrad II von Reinach-Hirzbach facing right, with elaborate curled wig, wearing ecclesiastical vestments and a decorative pectoral cross. A cartouche bearing the numeral '3' (denoting the value of 3 Kreuzer) appears on the shoulder before the bust. The circular legend runs along the periphery, reading IOA·CON·D·G·EP·BASILEENSIS·S·R·I·PR·, identifying the bishop by name and title. The portrait is rendered in a Baroque style typical of early eighteenth-century ecclesiastical coinage. The field is smooth, and the coin is struck within a fine beaded border. |
