Obverse description The obverse features the arms of Hamburg — a stylised triple-towered white castle on a red field — rendered in bold relief at the centre of the coin. The castellated gateway with its characteristic three towers is depicted in a highly schematic, archaic manner consistent with late 18th-century Hamburg civic coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire field. Below the central device, the initials O · H · K · appear in the lower field, likely denoting the mintmaster or city official of the period. The overall design is simple and heraldic, befitting a pattern strike of this denomination.
