| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the standing figure of St. Michael the Archangel in full body, facing forward, his wings spread behind him, trampling a dragon beneath his feet. The saint holds a shield bearing the cross of Zwolle in his left arm. The composition is set within a beaded inner circle, with the abbreviated city legend arranged around the periphery in Gothic uncial lettering. The style is characteristic of late 15th-century Netherlandish hammered gold coinage, with bold, deeply struck relief. |
