| Obverse description | Finely engraved bust of Albrecht Dürer facing right, depicted with long curling hair and a beard, wearing a soft beret-style cap with a tassel, rendered in a style closely inspired by Dürer's own self-portrait imagery. The effigy occupies the majority of the field with strong relief and detailed chasing. The surrounding legend reads ALBRECHT DÜRER ★ 1471 zu NÜRNBERG · 1971, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the artist's birth, arranged along the upper and lower periphery in bold incuse lettering. |
