| Obverse description | Central field depicts a full-length armored knight standing facing, wearing a plumed helmet and plate armor, holding a lance in his right hand and a heraldic shield bearing the letter 'B' (the arms of Bensheim) in his left; beneath his feet lies a vanquished dragon. The circumferential legend reads 'STADT BENSHEIM' along the upper arc, with the date '1917' flanked by two small stars along the lower arc. A dotted inner border follows the octagonal periphery throughout. |
