KM#12 has simpler fourvold arms reverse, and the titles of Jobst obverse, though possibly this is an error.
Other reference: Lucas# 87 var.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the multi-fold arms of Jobst Maximilian, which gives the impression of the figure having multiple arms. This design was a deliberate choice to symbolize the power and influence of the Lordship of Gronsveld, which was a significant territory in the Dutch States during that time.
