Above the shield, a radiant sun bursts forth between the lions' heads, lending the composition a distinctive baroque character. The entire device is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field. The encircling legend reads FREIE UND HANSESTADT HAMBURG, with the Hamburg mint mark J appearing below the shield near the base. |
