| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the quartered arms of Bern — featuring the diagonal bend — surmounted by an imperial eagle displayed. The Latin legend SIT : NOM : DNI : BENED (an abbreviation of 'Sit Nomen Domini Benedictum', meaning 'Blessed be the Name of the Lord') surrounds the central device. The square klippe flan bears a beaded border along its inner edge consistent with the hammered technique of the period. |
