| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the City of Cologne — three crowns in chief and eleven ermine drops (flames) in base — surmounted by a barred tilting helmet adorned with an elaborate mantling and floral crest. The shield is flanked by two heraldic supporters: a griffin passant to the left and a lion rampant to the right. Below the shield, the fraction denomination 31/36 appears within a cartouche, with the mint-master's marks BVRG. and FVES. flanking it. The circular Latin legend reads MON.NOVA ARG.CIVITATIS COLONIENSIS, interrupted by a milled border. |
