| Obverse description | Central field displays a heraldic shield bearing a rampant lion facing dexter, rendered in the late medieval style characteristic of the Bishopric of Chur. The shield is set within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a broad raised rim. The coin exhibits an irregular flan typical of hammered bracteate-style pfennigs of the period, with shallow relief and characteristic surface granularity. No legend is present; the design relies solely on the armorial device as the identifying element. |
