| Obverse description | A seated female allegorical figure representing Commerce or Insurance is shown to the right at a counting table, her arm resting upon an anchor symbolizing hope and security; before her stands Mercury, nearly facing the viewer with his head turned left, his caduceus in hand. To the right, bales of merchandise and money bags are arranged in the field, while a panoramic view of the city of Hamburg fills the background. The engraver's signature LOOS F appears within the legend. The composition is executed in a refined Baroque style with high-relief detail throughout. |
