| Obverse description | Central field displays an ornate Gothic letter G rendered in elaborate calligraphic style, occupying the majority of the flan. The G is surmounted by a municipal crown, symbolizing the civic authority of the city of Göttingen. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the surrounding legend reading MO. NO. GOTTINGE. in Latin script distributed around the periphery. The style is characteristic of late 16th- to early 17th-century German municipal coinage, with a slightly irregular flan typical of hammered production. |
