| Obverse description | Quartered civic shield of Breslau (Wroclaw) featuring four heraldic quarters — including an eagle and a lion — with a central inescutcheon bearing the letter 'W' surmounted by a small ornamental device, all within a beaded inner circle. The shield occupies the central field and is rendered in a bold, late-Gothic hammered style. The surrounding legend reads MONETA ARGENTEA WRATISLAVIENSIS, identifying this as the silver coinage of Wroclaw. |
