| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Rostock griffin passant, rendered in a bold medieval style with wings raised and body turned to the left, occupying the majority of the flan. The creature is shown with characteristic heraldic detail including spread claws and a stylized tail. A circular beaded or rope border frames the design, within which the legend MONETA ROSTOCHIENSIS is inscribed in Gothic uncial characters. The strike is typical of hammered coinage of the period, resulting in a slightly irregular flan with some weakness at the periphery. |
