| Obverse description | Depiction of a triple-towered fortified gateway or city gate, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner: a tall central tower surmounted by a pointed or pyramidal roof flanked by two shorter lateral towers, each with crenellated parapets and arched openings, symbolizing the city of Ravensburg. The architectural motif rises from a horizontal base wall with arched passages. The entire design is set within a plain inner circle surrounded by a prominent outer border of large raised pellets, characteristic of the bracteate coinage of the Swabian region. |
