| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned quartered arms of the city of Groningen set within an ornate cartouche, with the date placed above the crown and the denomination numeral '28' appearing in a cartouche below the shield. The surrounding circular legend, rendered in Latin, reads FLOR · ARG · CIV GRONINGÆ, identifying this as the silver florin of the city of Groningen. The legend terminates with the mint mark of a mermaid. The overall composition reflects the heraldic baroque style characteristic of late seventeenth-century Dutch municipal coinage. |
