| Obverse description | A heraldic ibex, the armorial symbol of the Bishopric of Chur, depicted in left-facing profile with prominent curved horns sweeping back over the body. The animal stands in a stylized, boldly struck manner characteristic of late medieval hammered coinage. The device is contained within a border of raised pearls, with a small star positioned at the top of the inner field. The flan is irregular in shape, typical of hand-struck bracteate-style small coinage of the period. No legend is present. |
