| Obverse description | Facing view of the fortified city gate of Lüneburg, rendered with three crenellated towers rising above a broad curtain wall with battlements; within the arched gateway, the city's heraldic shield bearing a rampant lion is prominently displayed. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular Latin legend running between the inner and outer beaded borders. The composition is characteristic of the bold, architecturally detailed style of mid-16th-century German municipal coinage. |
