| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the Werle arms superimposed upon a long cross that extends to the coin's periphery, dividing the field into four quadrants. The legend, rendered in Gothic letters, encircles the design along the outer border. The heraldic execution is characteristic of early sixteenth-century North German hammered coinage. |
