| Obverse description | Central field bears a multi-line German inscription commemorating the ratification of the Peace of Westphalia in Nuremberg, reading GEDACHTNUS DES FRIEDEN VOLLZIEHUNGS SCHLUSS IN NURNBERG / 1650 / 16 IUNI, arranged in horizontal lines. Above the inscription, the crowned arms of Nuremberg — a quartered shield displaying the imperial eagle and the Nuremberg bend — flanked by laurel branches. The surrounding border legend, reading P. AUGUSTO. IMPER. FERDINANDO III., runs clockwise along the outer rim within a beaded border, identifying the reigning Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III under whose authority the peace congress was concluded. |
