| Obverse description | Obverse of the host coin, a 2/3 Thaler of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen dated 1676, displaying the quartered county arms — divided into four quarters featuring a rampant lion and horizontal bars — surmounted by a crowned helmet with mantling, flanked by two standing wildmen as supporters. A circular peripheral legend in Latin reads COM. DE. S. WARTZ around the field. Applied over the host coin's surface is the small oval Cologne city countermark (the so-called 'Kölner Zug'), approximately 6.5 by 5.5 mm, bearing the legend C O L N, authenticating the coin for circulation within Cologne's monetary jurisdiction in 1693. |
