| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle, the crowned Bohemian lion passant to the left, bearing a shield on its breast charged with a quartered coat of arms of Wrocław — comprising the Bohemian lion, the Silesian eagle, the letter W for the city, and the bust of St. John the Evangelist, with the head of St. John the Baptist at center. The armorial shield is positioned at the base of the design, dividing the encircling Latin legend. The date appears at the conclusion of the legend. |
