| Obverse description | Armored bust of Emperor Maximilian I facing left in high relief, rendered in the early Renaissance style characteristic of Hall mint production. The emperor holds a scepter in his left hand and the hilt of a sword in his right hand, with the bent left arm extending dynamically into the surrounding legend — a compositional device attesting to the engraver's virtuosity. A crown surmounts the portrait, and the entire effigy is executed with a masterful three-dimensionality that marks this piece as a landmark of early Netherlandish-influenced German Renaissance portraiture on coinage. The circumferential legend in Latin runs along the coin's periphery. |
