| Reverse description | A nude male figure, likely representing the city genius or a river god, stands in the field facing slightly left, holding a long staff or trident in his raised right hand and a billowing banner or cloth in his left. The figure is rendered in a Mannerist style typical of early 17th-century German civic coinage. The surrounding Latin legend identifies the issuing city and date, all contained within a beaded inner circle. |
