| Obverse description | The Frankfurt civic arms, depicting a displayed eagle within a rectangular shield, occupies the central field. The initial F, serving as the mint or city identifier, appears above the shield, flanked on either side by the divided date 16 and 22. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of hammered pfennig coinage of the early seventeenth century, with weak areas at the periphery consistent with the production methods of the period. |
