| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a displayed imperial eagle with wings spread, facing left, rendered in the bold relief characteristic of early 16th-century German hammered coinage. The eagle, symbol of the Imperial Free City of Dortmund, occupies the central field with detailed feather work on the wings and talons. The circumscribed Latin legend encircles the inner circle, reading the monetary inscription of the Imperial City of Dortmund, with the date of issue appearing within the legend. The design reflects the city's status as a Reichsstadt with the right to mint coinage under Imperial privilege. |
