| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of Emden — a harpy (half-eagle, half-woman) set upon a shield — rendered in the hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. The shield is surmounted by an elaborate crown, with decorative scrollwork or mantling flanking the sides. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The circular Latin legend reads MONETA . NOVA . CIVITAT EMBDE, identifying this as new coinage of the city of Emden, interrupted by decorative stops. |

| Additional information |
Emden's civic coinage of this period reflects the city's precarious position during the Thirty Years' War — nominally under the County of East Frisia yet functionally self-governing, with the city council asserting independent minting rights that were perpetually contested. The Flindrich denomination is specific to the Emden series, a local accounting unit with no direct parallel in the broader Low German monetary system.
The KM# 10.1 designation distinguishes this from at least one die variant within the type.
