| Obverse description | A heraldic ibex passant facing left, displayed on a shield at center. The shield is encircled by a beaded (pearl) border. The letter 'O' appears in the upper field above the shield, serving as a mintmaster's or issuer's initial, while a small ringlet ornament occupies the lower field below the shield. The overall design is typical of late medieval Swiss episcopal coinage, struck on a roughly circular, irregular flan. |
