| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Lucerne on an asymmetrical baroque shield supported by two wildmen (woodwoses) wearing leafy wreaths; the left supporter stands facing right, holding a sword in his right hand and raising a crown over the shield with his left, while the right supporter sits on a ledge in a pensive pose, resting his head on one hand. Elaborate acanthus scrollwork fills the lower field, with the date 1745 inscribed at the base of the shield. The legend arcs around the upper rim. |
