| Obverse description | Large baroque achievement of arms occupying the central field, displaying the quartered coat of arms of Albert of Brandenburg as Archbishop and administrator of the Bishopric of Halberstadt, surmounted by a cardinal's hat and flanked by supporters. The arms incorporate multiple heraldic devices including the eagle of Brandenburg and the ecclesiastical insignia of Halberstadt. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading ALBERT. CARDI. ADMINIS. HALBER., identifying the issuer as Cardinal Albert, administrator of Halberstadt. The overall design is executed in the robust early sixteenth-century German hammered style, with strong relief in the heraldic elements. The fields show typical die characteristics of the period. |
