| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the oval arms of Zürich — per bend sinister sable and argent — set within an elaborate baroque cartouche with scrolled acanthus volutes and a floral finial at the apex. The shield is rendered with fine engraving detail characteristic of mid-17th-century Swiss mint work. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, separated from the milled border by a plain inner rim. |
