Obverse description A stylized open hand rendered in relief at center of the field, serving as the civic emblem of Frankfurt. The fingers are depicted pointing upward, with the palm facing the viewer. A surrounding circular legend frames the device, reading FRA - DC`F`, abbreviated for Frankfort in Latin. The overall execution is characteristic of late-medieval hammered coinage, with irregular flan and bold, somewhat crude die-engraving typical of the period.
