| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of Zürich — a per pale shield divided diagonally with a lion passant, rendered in elaborate Baroque cartouche style with foliate and scroll ornamentation surrounding the escutcheon. The shield is set within an ornate decorative frame of acanthus scrolls and flourishes characteristic of late 17th-century Swiss minting. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the circumscribed legend. The circular Latin legend reads MONETA NOVA THVRICENSIS, identifying this as a new coinage of Zürich, and is separated by star-shaped stops. |
