| Obverse description | The arms of Frankfurt depicted as a displayed double-headed eagle, crowned with a single imperial crown, with wings spread and talons extended, set upon an ornamental foliate base at the lower field. The heraldic eagle is rendered in high relief with finely detailed feathering throughout. The circular legend FREIE STADT in the upper arc and FRANKFURT in the lower arc frames the device, separated by the eagle's wingtips. A beaded border runs along the full circumference of the coin. |
