| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with both heads facing outward and wings spread, rendered in the Gothic hammered style typical of late 15th-century Low Countries municipal coinage. Beneath the eagle, an upright shield bearing the city arms of Groningen is placed at the base, flanking the legend. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend running between the inner and outer borders, divided by the eagle's wings. |
