| Obverse description | Ornate quartered heraldic shield surmounted by a great helm with crest, displaying the arms of Breslau, the Bohemian lion, the Silesian eagle, and the letter W alongside the bust of John the Evangelist; at the center of the composition, the severed head of John the Baptist is depicted on a charger. The civic initials S.P.Q.W. (Senatus Populusque Wratislaviensis) appear prominently in the field above the achievement of arms. The overall design is rendered in the elaborate German Renaissance heraldic style characteristic of early seventeenth-century municipal coinage. |
