| Obverse description | Quartered coat of arms within an ornate baroque cartouche, displaying two ibexes passant in the upper quarters and two bearded busts (bishops) in the lower quarters, surmounted by a mitre finial above the shield. The arms represent the combined heraldic bearings of the Bishopric of Chur and the Mohr family. A circular beaded border frames the field, with the Latin legend running between inner and outer rims. |
