| Obverse description | Central field features the Frankfurt eagle displayed, rendered in the late Gothic style with wings spread and head facing right, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding area is adorned with an elaborate Gothic floral and foliate ornamental border of alternating lobed and circular decorative elements. The abbreviated Latin legend MONETA. NOVA. CIV(ITA). runs between the beaded circle and the ornamental outer border, referencing the issuing city. The overall design is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered silver coinage. |
